Update

It was nicely pointed out that I haven't updated since we got back from vacation. So, here's the update. Got through my pile waiting at work. Alex's boy scouts is going well - even though his first camp out got flooded out. Sarah cleaned the house like a crazy woman ... I truly think she is related to "fresh air mary" (momma) ... it was a bit scary but hey - the house is clean.

And other than that - normal daily stuffs.

So - there's the update!!

Last Florida Post ...

Well, we're all packed up (mostly) and getting ready to check out. Fell asleep reading before I could post our activities last night. Here's the brief recap:

• Manicure/Pedicures for me and Sarah while Alex played his DS.


• To the Track for bumper boat rides and go-cart races.


• To the beach/pool/beach for some sun and water.


• To the condo to meet Uncle Al and Aunt Linda (Joe's) who live down here.


• Walk on the beach with Sarah to watch sunset.


• See some amazing sand castles.


• Dinner at fancy-shmancy restaurant.

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!
