RT's Wallet

 I think I mentioned we went on vacation not too long ago.  Our vacation was a lot of outdoors.  Sun, fun, water, hiking and a lot of beach time.  

At the beginning of our trip, the very beginning...let's just come clean and say it was the very first day of vacation, OK?  We decided to go kayaking.  We rented some kayaks, put our suits and sun screen on.  They gave RT a ziploc plastic bag for keys or any valuables that he might want to bring with on the trip.  I explained that I had a waterproof bag that I purchased at work.  RT was set on using the plastic zipped up bag.  He put his key and wallet in there and we were ready to roll.  

The trip takes you down a river.  We did the two hour trip because a late afternoon rain was in the forecast.  We goofed around the first half hour (paddling back, going in circles, etc.).  After awhile, we started getting into the whole lazy river / kayak mode and found it to be very relaxing.  We even stopped off at a beach and hung out in the water.  Bella started getting hungry and we realized we had been out on this river for four hours (without snacks because it was so spontaneous).  We paddled (rather quickly) to the end of the line.  When we got out, RT realized his wallet and car key were soaked.  Luckily, the car key worked (because I did not have the spare car key on me).

I believe (and hope) that a lesson was learned by this experience.  Something like, use the waterproof bag, or, maybe, take a class on how to close a ziploc plastic bag prior to using them in life or death situations.
