A priceless Memorial weekend outing

Discounted tickets to spend 5 hours aboard the SunCruz Casino Boat (the only gambling venue in Jax): $3.00
Picturesque evening view of the Mayport shore as you cruise out into the choppy Atlantic waters: Free.
Bottom-of-the-barrel mixed drinks served up in tiny plastic cups: $5 each.
Realizing half an hour into the adventure you are terribly vulnerable to seasickness and it's too late for dramamine to help you: PRICELESS.

Laurie- just clicked into your blog and saw the photo of you breathing into the bag. Yes, I would agree it is priceless! Aside from that, I hope all is well. I beleive it's a year now for you in FL. I remember last year, missing your party on May 31 because I got sick on the way home from WI. I officially start my BA program this weekend w/ residency on campus (I might need to buy a plaid pullover vest!) with my Co-hort. I am excited- though know that for the next 15 to 24 months this is about all I will have time for besides work. Tell me it will be worth it. Let me know if you are going to be in MN anytime this summer. Take care- Linda
