Trip Wrap-Up

Well, vacation is over; we got home Wednesday night. The second half of our trip was just as nice as the first half, maybe even better because Megan and Andrew were there with us. More family loving on Austin, more fun.

One of the trip highlights came Saturday morning when Andrew, Zach, and I went parasailing. (Why didn't Megan go? Read about it on her blog.) If you're not sure, parasailing is when you fly through the air suspended from a parachute, attached to a boat by a 1000 foot rope. You are really, really high but it is so neat! We saw a stingray and a sea turtle from the air, plus a group of dolphins as the boat was taking us to the parasailing location. We went right by our condo while we were in the air and got to wave to Mom and Megan, who were hanging out on the beach.

A fellow parasailer took these pictures of us.

Up, up, and away!

Yep, that's us way up there! The view was just incredible.

Of course the fun didn't end there. Here's a little bit of fun from the rest of our trip.


Checking out the live alligators before playing miniature golf. (Zach did ridiculously well considering that he had a baby strapped to his chest.)

Walking on the beach, facing forward at last!
