7-19-10-Vacation day 3-Miami Seaquarium

Today was a trip to Miami to the Seaquarium. WOW it was a hot day! We had fun, but I do believe we've been spoiled by all the years we've spent going to Sea World. Afterwards we found our way to Deerfield to the Cove where we enjoyed some Rum Runners and oysters, yum!

7-18-10-Vacation day 2

Vacation, what a wonderful thing! We woke up early and wanted to try to see the sunrise. We got our coffee and headed down to the beach only to come across a newly made sea turtle nest, so amazing! We stayed out for quite a while, but it was pretty cloudy, so not the best sunrise, there is still lots of time!

7-17-10 VACATION DAY 1-San Antonio to Lauderdale by the Sea

FINALLY, it is vacation time! We left San Antonio as the sun rose for sunny south Florida for 2 fun filled weeks on the beach! My parents joined us there. We stayed at The Windjammer in Lauderdale by the Sea, my parents had the condo next door. We spent lots of time visiting with them and Che's parents, as well as seeing lots of friends.
Mike and Madison barely awake at the airport.

7-4-10 Happy 4th of July!

Happy4th of July! We had a small get together at the house with friends, then watched the fire works show on the flight line on the base. Great show! Not many pictures this time, but we had a great time anyway. As a side note it is our 13th wedding anniversary as well! Great day!
