Back from vacation
Some people are beach people, and others are mountain people. My wife and I have figured out that we’re definitely mountain people. I don’t think we’ve chosen on our own to take a vacation to the beach in the nearly nine years we’ve been married. But if someone’s going to offer us a free place to stay on the beach for a week, well, who are we to turn that down? In the case of last week, calling the place “on the beach” couldn’t be any more correct. When we arrived on Tuesday night the water was against the sea wall which formed the foundation of the house as a result of hurricane Dean. And one of the cool things about Cape San Blas is that you can see water on both sides of the condo - the Gulf of Mexico to our west and the St. Joe Bay to the east.
The catch to this trip is that it was with my parents. Friends and readers of my blog know that they’re Baptists, and I’m not, which means there’s plenty of tension between us. There are a couple of highlights which I’ll probably write about later. But right now I’m still enjoying the mental images of the pelicans flying in a line and the school of dolphins we watched from our balcony.

I found your site about Back from vacation quite different than ones that I found before. Do you have any more? Thanks
