Two new tires, of course (a new spare as well). There is apparently a Tire Kingdom a mile from here...

Homemade guacamole.
Beer.
Finding out that beer is not allowed at Mustang Island State Park — and the fine is $500.
Shopping at HEB for things that we ended up leaving in the HGI for one of the maids. Hope she enjoys two unopened loaves of Mrs. Baird's, and a couple of packages of HEB flour tortillas, as well as the remnants of a few six packs of Modelo.
Tragic people at the beach.
Hot people at the beach.
ALCO molesting J.Edward in the front seat of a rented Honda CRV (and pics taken to prove it).
Sunburn.
Watching multiple cars getting stuck in the sand at the beach, followed by a couple of our own cars getting stuck.
Certain Box members getting really, really, really drunk and then doing things in the ocean that should not be mentioned here.
Renting The World's Most Awesome™ Rental Car, a craptastic Grand Prix from Avis that had well over 30,000 miles on it, and a smell inside that was described as "grandma's douche bag."
A certain Box founder relieving himself not once, not twice, not three times, but four times in a couple of hours in various parking lots next to said World's Most Awesome™ Rental Car.
Great baseball game at Whataburger Field.
Whataburger — multiple times.
Someone forgetting his ID, then being threatened with arrest, a phone call to the TABC, and being tossed out of the ballpark for having a beer with no ID — and the person this happened to was a good 5-10 years older than the kid threatening him.
Trying to break into the pool at the HGI after hours using the key from The World's Most Awesome™ Rental Car. This resulted in the key that that car becoming nearly unusable for starting the car.
Watching high class TV like Cheaters while drinking beer, after being locked out of the pool at the HGI. And witnessing a woman take her obese "whole lot of man love" to an all you can eat pizza buffet on a date.
Two Box members sharing a bed at the HGI, after a day of much drunkenness. Not going to speculate what happened there… They shall remain nameless, but one is named after a zoo animal and the other is about to move across the country.
Finding Dublin Dr. Pepper, made with pure Imperial brand cane sugar, in 20 oz. bottles at a convenience store in Goliad, TX.
Flying VCT-IAH, and realizing that ALCO and I doubled CO's passenger load on the flight to four passengers.

This sounds much more exciting than my weekend of working and packing. Hopefully we can recreate some of the greatness in our Nations Captail in a few weeks!

Even I was in a SPG hotel this weekend (aLoft in BNA burbs). And Candlewood has a pretty lame promo at the moment:

I had to vote specifically because Heart (29) was above Tom Petty (28). :confused:

Pictures = 1000 words.

But hopefully they are not on Snapfish. :p

If it does, they are not enforcing, I am getting stay, point, and free night credits :)

If the photos were on Snapfish, we take it those 1,000 words would all be swears and unrelated to the content of the photos?

Here's the line from the e-mails I received from IC (most recently 22 July after extended), which is why I ignored the promo completely (emphasis added):

:) Hopefully their don't catch their mistake.

It sounds like I missed quiet a bash in CRP. As for the two box members found in the same bed, I repeat one of my friends said after waking up in the same situation after a bachelor party "This looks so wrong yet feels so right."
