mini vacay :)

Last weekend we packed up and hit I95 South headed for Daytona...well, Mom, Margaret, Hunter, Keri and Jessie did. I tagged along an hour or so behind them when I finished my final day at my old job :) We stayed at our usual "Sun Viking Lodge" where we have stayed yearly since Keri and I were in 7th grade. It is fun to go back every year and see the same people; guests and employees! Despite a half day of rain we still managed to have in incredible weekend full of fun, sun, and Hunter skimboarding. That kid is awesome at any sport that involves a board-it isn't fair!

It was really neat to be in the water when the clouds rolled in. The storms are a comin'!
Yeah, my little brother basically he rocks at this, and I don't! How is that fair?
What trip to Daytona would be complete without tacky surf shop sunglasses? I actually considered buying these!

Happy Hump Day!
