We're at Dan's parents' house with his brother and his sister and her family. His parents went to the Keys yesterday morning to spend the night with friends. The rest of us decided to go to Outback for an early dinner out, and Dan, his brother, and Greyson headed out to make sure we could get seated. The rest of us were to follow. As his sister, the last one out of the house, closed the door, she asked if anyone had a key to get back in. However, the door closed all the way before the question was answered, and - long story short - no one did. We decided to just continue on with the food plans and worry about what to do after our bellies were full.
So we ate and enjoyed ourselves, and then we headed back home. In a short period of time, we discovered that 1) we didn't have his parents' correct cell phone number, 2) no key was hidden anywhere we could think of as a possible hiding place outside, 3) the next-door neighbor we thought might have a key was not home, and 4) their close friends a few blocks away were home but did not have a key. So, I used my iPhone to first locate what we thought was a home phone number for the friends Dan's parents were with in the Keys and turned out to be their cell phone. Through them, we reached my in-laws and confirmed that, in fact, there was no key hidden outside. So then I used the iPhone to locate a locksmith who happened to be in the very near vicinity. Within 15 minutes, we were in the house! The best part of it all was that the weather was beautiful, so we didn't even mind being stuck outside for a while.
The only thing I didn't use my iPhone for during this adventure? Taking pictures.
