Surfing, sharks, and other miscellaneous vacation happenings

DH's favorite town in Tennessee has got to be Murfreesboro. It's just so much fun to say.


Thank heaven for this sign outside Atlanta, GA.

Sunday dinner at the Sundy house with DH's family. Sister shown here.

DH and his sister trying to get the fish to nibble their fingers. The Sundy House has a bed and breakfast and a pool - you can swim with the fish.


Dh loves driving his parents' cars. We took his mom's convertible one evening to check out the waves. I think dh likes it.
Pretty lines. Dh told me that swells in Florida never last long, so he had to take advantage of good surf. I think he went surfing 3 times in the first 3 days we were there.

Dh checking out the surf.


Pretty moon.


More waves. Merry Christmas to Dh.

Dh's cousin, brother, and dh checking out waves like they have been for years.

They found an acceptable spot.


Surfing together. This was before they saw the 5-foot-long spinner shark jump out of the water, do a few 360's and dive back in. They left promptly after that.

I went with Kathryn to Blowing Rocks. Let's just say at low tide, it's less than spectacular. But we did rock our matching FL tees :)



BEFORE - Dh back in Hawaii when he had to report for duty. He's still in surfer clothes, but is clean-shaven, and with a military haircut.


NOW - look at this scruffy, long-haired student! Thank goodness that he doesn't have to report to anyone at school ;)

We went fishing with Dh's Uncle Roger and a few of his friends. I hadn't realized that I get seasick after a few hours of sitting in a rocking boat. Not cool. But we did have some fun out there before I got too green.

Austin reeled in our first catch of the day - a baby shark.



I reeled in our second catch of the day, another baby shark. We ended up catching another baby shark, and no fish. Sad to say, there are 3 more angry sharks out there in the water.

Neon Rainbow, Alan Jackson's boat. A little piece of country right there in South Florida.

Dh and his dad coming back from fishing.


One of the highlights of the trip was having dh's friend from school come down with his family to dh's parents' house. We went up to the top of the Jupiter Lighthouse and saw this beautiful view. Plus, look at the houses on the closest part of land - those are CG housing. Not bad a bad place to be stationed!

Wearing one of my favorite tshirts. Can you read what it says?


We went to the Oceanographic Institute? or something like that, and got to feed stingrays.


You hold the food like this... and then the rays come over your hand and suck it up. It's a weird feeling and took me a while to be brave enough to not move my hand away while feeding it.
Trying to sneak one of the snacks...

Dh and I on a manatee...

Another highlight was spending lots of time with our family - especially nephew Curren! He's at a fun age and is "talking" a lot.
