Vacation - NO KIDS!!!!!

Thursday night we drop the kids off with Grandma- Nate catching fire flies. THANKS SO MUCH GRANDMA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caitlin is all smiles because Grandpa "pimped her ride" . He added the horn, handbar things, bell and basket. THANKS GRANDPA

Carl, Amy, Ali, Troy and Grandpa head off for four days sailing the Chesapeake Bay! WHAT FUN! We played tennis everyday, enjoyed Maryland Crabs at every meal and washed it all down with Miller Lite , what could be better!

Getting ready for some rough weather. All that means is you have to drink your beer fast or your might spill some!

Alison driving , while Amy takes her thirdi or fourth nap of the day. Its not a sailboat trip if Amy doesn't sleep for at least 75% of it!

Carl takes the wheel!

Carl never far from his blackberry UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. He is trying to hide it here. Why didn't I throw it into the Bay...... next time!

What a great trip, thanks so much Grandma and Grandpa.

Happy Fathers Day
