Frank,
The boys haven't finish all the work I have for them but when they heard about Sunset Beach they stop work and packed up and they are on their way to you.
Enjoy Monterrey Bay.

Subject: Re: [TN] [EXT] [TN] Element Quiz Answer
Since the boys are probably tired from all the work George made them do, they can join me for the week at Sunset Beach on the Monterrey Bay. Pure relaxation on vacation. Maybe they can convince the local raccoons to stay out of my camp. We’ll have some great games of Cards Against Humanity with them.
