Fools Gold

Andy and I went out to the movies and sushi last night. We went and saw "Fools Gold". It was really a great movie! Treasure hunting in it's finest. It was not shot in Key West but it really looked like (except for the incredible water) and and it really made me want to go back. I LOVE KEY WEST! I have looked up Mel Fisher and the treasure hunting excursions they have and really have talked to the boys about making taking a year off before college and do something exciting. They have a program that you can sign up for a year and dive for treasure. The pay is minimal but the life experience is second to none. Heck, why can't I sign up? Could you imagine saying to your kids "Yea, when I graduated high school I took off for a year and searched for treasure in the Bahamas with Mel Fishers team."?



With the travel bug hitting at it's peak, I wanted to book another trip down there as soon as I got home. We have talked about renting a house for a month next summer when the boys graduate high school, but with the hurricanes, well, let's say I don't want to experience that disaster, I had enough on my own land with the fires and earthquakes.



Today is beauitiful and the snow is melting fast, needless to say, it is extremely MUDDY! I am staying in the house today, just peeking outside from time to time, I wish I could sit out and get some sun on my face. Spring is still too far away. I am just glad that I had this over the winter and not the summer, makes staying home a little easier.
