Travel Chalk Board

Get a regular clip board and tape off the top.  It will protect the clip.

Love spray paint!!  This is specifically to make a chalk board surface(home depot $7ish)

spray!  Baby! spray!

I did the back, too.

spray back.

Remove tape.

Use clip to store chalk when not in use.  Enjoy.

Last night in the Bahamas!

That is right!  We caught and cooked a lobster.  (or a Bahamian crawfish)

Here is Paul holding the crawfish!! 

Recipe:

Break tail off of the lobster (thank you Drew)









Place in boiling water ( I added salt and a citrus fruit that I picked here)

Boil it until the meat is white...7ish minutes for this guy.  We cut it open to check and had to put it back into the water. 

 Take the shell off. 

 We ate it with butter and fresh lime juice!
