THE THANG:
PAX loaded the car for the annual beach vacation, packing the usual stuff: cooler, beach towels, fishing rods, hi-lift jack, sandbags, cinderblocks, etc. Because they did it wrong, they repeated the process. Several times.

PAX traveled to the beach, beginning with Lunge Walks, slowing to a crawl (Bear Crawl that is), going through the Chesapeake Bay Tunnel (Balls-to-the-Wall and Bear Crawl), stopping for a speeding ticket (Burpees) in Chesapeake, then on to the Outer Banks.

Upon arriving at their beach house, PAX carried their cinderblock to the top of the stairs, then jumped for joy (Squat Jumps). Repeat 3x (slick, with no block).

PAX packed for their return trip, carrying their CBs back to storage and collecting sundry coupons at the car.
