Stuff I've dug up.
Here are passages from two diary entries I wrote on today's date 18 years ago. I was 13.
June 19, 1993
Day 2--Mobile
Okay, so here I am, sitting in the car, trying to write. I'm in Mobile, Alabama, today and after a few more hours of driving, we'll be in Destin. Yippee-ki-ay-oh-ay, yippee-ki-oh!
I asked my fellow vacationers how they felt now that Destin is only a few hours away. Here's what they said:
Dad - I feel relieved.
Kelsey - I feel great!
Mom - Grateful.
Eden - I feel great.
Nicole - Excited.
Eric - Great.
Day 2--The Arrival
Well, after 14 hours, 750 miles, and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, a tired Thompson clan finally reached Edgewater Beach Condominiums at about 1:00 p.m. On first observation, I would say the condo is fairly nice. The view is, well, of the pool. Upon arrival, Nicole said - I don't want to say anything.
