Beach Fun

A trip to the Indiana Dunes over the 4th of July weekend.

Sunny San Diego

Panda Resting in the TreeA pleasant getaway to sunny San Diego (while Gail’s folks kindly babysat Emily). We got in plenty of relaxation in addition to sampling much of what the city has to offer including: Torrey Pines State Reserve, La Jolla Beach, Balboa Park, San Diego Zoo, Seaport Village, and the downtown Gaslamp District.

Carribean Cruise

Us and the Costa MagicaSince we knew it might be a while until we get another opportunity for us to take a vacation (Gail was 4 months pregnant) we decided to take a cruise on the Eastern Carribean. We took the Costa Magica, a new ship from the Italian cruise line, Costa Cruises.  It was a very nice ship with a friendly staff.  Our cruise departed Ft. Lauderdale, and travelled to San Juan, Puerto Rico, followed by St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, then to the Dominical Republic and finally the Grand Turks before returning to Ft. Lauderdale.
