I just got back! Not only was the weather beautiful, the food fantastic, and the friendship everwhelming...but the traffic was surprisingly accomodating. Only one or two slowdowns on the way down, and one on the way back! I guess all the crazy drivers were on vacation already.

What a gorgeous day to spend outside talking cars, kids and soap operas? Lucky for everybody that I forgot to grab my video camera, or I would have been in everybody's face and walking down the beach getting shots of the ships passing by. There will be plenty of pictures, so I didn't need my camera anyway. I'll leave that to the pros.

Thanks, Ashley, for coordinating this great get together. You were a great host.

I know Tom is already planning the next outting, so keep an eye out for that invite. See you all there!
