Days in Destin
September 5, 2008Needless to say, when I evacuated to Chattanooga, Tenn., last Saturday, I didn't see the need to pack a bathing suit. But once I arrived in bright and sunny Destin, Fla., Wednesday, I realized that I needed to go buy one.
As any woman knows all too well, the buying of the bathing suit is not a fun excursion. More like a root canal mixed with a horrible first date with a dash of Poison Oak. It didn't help that I hadn't exercised in about a month and that I spent about 5 days in Tennessee eating as much barbecue and baked beans as possible. (New Orleans is known for its amazing food, but barbecue and Mexican food aren't at the top of the list.)
And so, under dire circumstances -- buy a bathing suit or you can't go to the beach -- I made a purchase. Then I squeezed by barbecue loving behind into it.
