Spring Break '09 - Part 2 - Day 2

Aren't my titles clever! Should have been Adventure Day!

Okay - started the morning with sunrise. Got kids and self moving for our day.

Started at the Gulfarium...






[FOR THE RECORD: Alex voluntarily jumped to go stand by the "Splash Zone".]

Personally - I think this is an awesome video!








Then we went onward to our real ADVENTURE of the day!

Yes - that's all three of us Parasailing! Sarah wanted to do it but wasn't big enough - so I agreed to go with her. While watching the group before us go, Alex decided he wasn't sure he wanted to go but didn't want to have any regrets. All three of us had a great time - no regrets! It was so much fun and amazingly beautiful. I've never been more happy to have tried something. I'm sure Sarah thinks I'll do the bungee jumping now too ... but I'm fairly certain that will remain a no way!


This photo I don't look like I'm having fun - but I really was - it was as we were coming down to land and I was worried a bit. We were told to "land on your feet". I was correctly worried my knees would laugh at that thought. Yeah, I landed and went immediately down to my rear. But was able to stand after that with no problems.



Back on the boat safe and sound ... and ready to do it again if they'd let us!

What a fantastic adventure.. I was talking with Maryanne this morning and she too asked if I had checked your blog.. I was driving and thought,"What DID they do? I wondered about parasailing, and thought would I do that and decided that may go on the bucket list, but only if I could do it with someone. It certainly sounded like a day to remember. What I was thinking you might have done was dolphins, since you had mentioned it. Love M
