Family Vaction 2007

Our first family vacation was the first time we traveled together, all six of us, to leave the ordinary behind. There were no strings attached, no relatives to see, no seminars to attend, no obligation other than to explore, dream, and discover.


This was the first time we experienced the ocean. The breeze, the smell, the sound, the sand. The infinite vision of ocean and sky. It captivated us all. We realized for the first time the world was a book and we had just read page one.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Mark Twain

Hey Scott,
Nice blog. Too bad we don't have water to go with our endless beach here in Amarillo!
I like that quote by Twain. Especially as I get older....
