Showering is Optional

Goodland, FL

New Grooming Rule: Rinsing off with a hose or jumping into a pool, constitues as a shower.

There is just not enough towels to go around and Florida's humidy doesn't allow anything to completley dry.

No need primp like we do at home. It's hot, everyone is loosely dressed and with this economy, restaurant and business owners are just happy for our business.

Kids are thrilled with this plan albeit, the need to use a hairbrush.

On one particular night, (after taking real showers), we headed over to a famous, underground spot for bikers, Stan's Idle Hour. Not exactly a place you typically roll into with five kids...but it looked like FUN!

The shower and sun-dress ensembles that we had on, set us apart from the rest, but it was interesting to be at a place that has grown in fame, by word of mouth.

We didn't stay at Stan's but found another local spot that was more appropriate for two mommas and five kids under 12 years.

Showering is worth the effort, if you are going to enjoy being served a delicous seafood dinner.
