Virginia Beach Mutha-Fuckas!!!

So, the Corolla is all stocked and ready to roll for a sweet three plus hour drive down to Virginia Beach this afternoon. The Toast is tentatively set to take off from the office at about 3pm for a rendezvous with Kool-Aid at our Alexandria apartment to change into short pants and grab any last minute necessities (sunblock and road beers, I'm looking at you here).

Pretty much our plan for the weekend is simple:

- rise and shine, you're at the fuckin' beach...JACKPOT!!
- take advantage of liberal all-you-can-eat policy at hotel's continental breakfast
- look good in swimwear (dang dang!!)
- lie on beach, thoroughly enjoy recent purchase of HST's "The Rum Diary"
- prevent Toasted Irish skin sunburn w/ repeated sunblock applications (SPF 50 bitches!!)
- build elaborate sand castles with Target purchased sand toys (weeee!!!)
- run around and demonstrate frisbee skills for passers by
- check out Kool-Aid when she is not paying attention (it should be known that the Toast is always caught)
- locate nearest on-boardwalk ice cream distributor
- go out for night time eats, some drinks but let's not get crazy here
- rest easy Toast, you've had a tough one
- repeat
- spend Sunday hitting up awesome rides at beer themed amusement park (aces!!)

Basically I need this little respite of a vacation here, albeit kinda short. Work has been weird and oddly stressful of late and with the nonstop running around with rugby and standard day to day stuff this nice four day'er comes at the perfect time. Also, the Toast loves him some Rolley-Coasters and word on the street is that Busch Gardens is chock full o' them. I almost forgot, I'm spending a day plus in Colonial Williamsburg to boot. The History Major side of the Toast absolutely goes nuts for this shit.

And from what I hear from the Kool-Aid, this is to be our first REAL vacation together. I mean, we've gone places but each trip we take seems to have involved some sort of extraneous circumstances: either another couple (Little Crapper and Mary for Yanks weekend in NYC last summer), another family (Trip to see Ma Dukes in Chigago this past Jan.), or random weddings (i.e. friend's wedding in Albany last summer/her Brother's wedding in Vermont last fall). This one is all Kool-Aid and me. Not gonna lie to you; I like this idea and I'm excited to be a part of it.

So that's about it. Last minute rundown of items; book..check. sunglasses..check. beers and fruit to enhance on beach enjoyment..check. goofy cabana wear..check. kick-ass mix for drive down to VA beach..check. Attractive lady friend..check. Nice ass weather for a few days..check. Yep, everything certainly is coming up Casey. Enjoy the long weekend internet folks. Toast/Casey OUT!!!
