Snorkel

Julie convinced me that we should take a snorkeling trip while we were in Aruba. At first I was really not that excited about the idea but after we loaded on the boat I understood why she wanted to do it. The boat was unlike most snorkel boats this boat resembled a pirate ship equipped with an Ipod and an open bar. The snorkeling was very good, crystal clear waters, many different types of fish and a shipwreck that happened right off the shore. All and all it was a very good time and we concluded the evening at a Brazilian restaurant.

Great Day

Today was outstanding Julie was able to water ski on the beautiful waters of Aruba. She truly has a tremendous talent and it was a once and a life time opportunity. We concluded the evening with a fabulous dinner at Ruth Chris. I am looking forward to another exciting day tomorrow.

Aruba - Golf

Today I decided to play golf at Tierra de Sol resort in Aruba. While I was tying to keep the ball out of the 30 mph trade winds Julie was enjoying a day at the spa. Golf was very challenging but it is amazing how you can build a course on the edge of the ocean in the rough terrain. I played the round with a gentleman from Boston who had a very interesting perspective on golf and life.

Windy but Relaxing

Today I have to say was one of the most relaxing days I have ever had on vacation. It started off with a nice workout, breakfast with Julie and then a day at the pool. I nearly finished a book from start to finish. Although the wind was out of control where we were sitting (wind tunnel) we still had plenty of sun and some needed relaxation.

Aruba

Yesterday Julie and I landed in Aruba for a well needed vacation. We have both been very busy at work and this is an opportunity to relax and embrace our time together.

Graduation

A couple of days ago I took part in my graduation ceremony at Kent State University. Although before the event I was not really planning on going I am glad I attended. It will be a day and an accomplishment I will remember the rest of my life.

Birthday

Last night we celebrated my wife's birthday. Although she still looks like she is 21 she is another year older and wiser.
