And where was I on this trip? That's right, hard at work. Slaving away to pay for cotton candy, kites, and... uh... kittens. (No, we didn't get a kitten, but it sounded like the right thing to say.)

The facts: Amy and the kids went to the beach with family. They bought toys (electronic and kitey). They bought non-fuel food. They had a great time.

The real story is something you'll have to get from Amy. If she tells you, let me know.
