Blast off...

Hello Friends,

M and I headed over to the coast this morning. We packed up the Jeep with beach towels, waters, sunscreen, and of course Bandit. After a short commute we arrived at Honeymoon Island. Honeymoon Is. is a medium sized key about 15 miles due West from our place. It's known locally for it's free standing porch swings that are pre-positioned to take in the unobstructed view of the sunset. We haven't had a chance to view the sunset there yet but it's on the list.

Also on the list is to migrate over to the East coast to see a shuttle launch first hand. We were able to see the vapor trail from the launch this morning. It was amazing to see just how fast that thing is traveling as it rockets out of the Earth's gravitational grips.

This evening we're headed over to Ybor City (pronounced Eebor City). Ybor is located near the heart of Tampa and is known for it's Cuban-influenced restaurants, clubs, shops, and of course cigar stores.

Hope all is well with you. Our phone still isn't up and running (don't ask), but of course you can always email us to keep in touch.
