Always Eventful!

Matt, Laura Elizabeth and I headed down to Panama City around 10:00 on Saturday. We had to stop several times to get gas. We were a little concerned because several gas stations on the way down were completely out of gas. So, every 1/4 of a tank, we would get gas. I believe the highest that we ever paid was $3.99. Most of the gas stations made you come in and pre-pay. Matt actually paid more than we could hold so I had to run back and get a refund (all of this goes with the story)...so, finally around 4:00, we made it to our place. I had done a lot of research on different condos and after talking with the rental folks...decided to rent at WaterCrest. We went to pick up the keys and the lady says, "the guest toilet is broken but the maintenance guy is on his way". I was a little hesitant at first but then thought...we are on vacation, it's LeLe's toilet and she won't be using it...so chill. When we got there, the place was a little dated but was HUGE! It had all hard wood floors and a enormous balcony. Did I mention that it was full of crap?? The whole wing smelled horrible but I just tried to keep my calm since the place was decent.

Matt and I decided to go to the store since the toilet had not been fixed. While we are at the store, we realize that neither one of us have our check card. Luckily, I had another credit card. Anyway, when we got back to the truck, Matt realized that I was the last one that had his card. I called the gas station in Dothan and yes they had the card. Matt joked that I needed some of that Focus Factor since I had lost both cards.

When we got back, still no maintenance guy...so I called. I ran out and got shrimp and crab for dinner and LeLe took a nap. Finally, the maintenance men got there and fixed the toilet. OH! The place had mirrors all in the living area. LeLe would crawl underneath the end table so that she could touch her reflection in the mirror.

Matt and I put LeLe to bed and started watching the Auburn game. While we were on the couch, we heard "crunch...crunch...crunch". We snook into the kitchen and found...a RAT EATING OUR DORITOS! It was kind of funny after the shock went away. We actually video taped the mouse leaping over the stove with a huge dorito in his mouth. The little thing actually ate a hole through the bottom of the doritos...and yes, they were cheese ones.

Matt got on the phone and they said that we could move places in the morning. Matt and I debated on whether or not we wanted to load up the entire condo again and move places. We decided to leave the bag of doritos out for the little creature and went to bed.
