Every year right before school starts, I get a pretty good idea of who's been to the beach... before they ever tell me.( especially if im friends with them on fb )...
I start vacuuming and think, "That's Gulf Shores... no, maybe Destin... wait a minute, that looks like Pensacola!"
The sand is actually different from place to place. Destin is famous for its super fine, sugar-white quartz sand. Gulf Shores has soft white quartz sand too. But Pensacola? That sand is so bright white and powdery it almost looks like someone dumped a bag of salt in the floorboard!
I can't always tell exactly where someone went, but after cleaning enough vehicles over this past year, you definitely start noticing the differences.
So if you just got back from the Gulf before school starts... your vacation is still riding around in your carpet!
