Kendall taught me how to be a hip Californian.

One thing I learned: Don't try to chew bubble
gum with only two front teeth.

I spent LOTS of time in the pool. Here I am
in the super-cool floatie-thing that Nana gave me.

Feel that awesome ocean breeze!

Okay, so we go to this Mexican restaurant, I had
a little too much formula, and things just got crazy.

Uncle Kevin, Aunt Debbie and cousins Kelly
and Katie happened to be in Orlando
so they drove over for a visit.

Daddy says "Smile for Mommy!" but I'm
thinking, "Should I tell him that a
sand crab is about to pinch his toe?"

Daddy liked racing up and down the beach.
I thought it was a good chance for a nap.

Here is where I explain to Mom and Dad that what
I really need is a "shortboard" surfboard with less
flip in the nose and a thruster setup.

One night we hit the "Sunset Grill" on
the Banana River. I spent most of the time
checking out the blonde waitresses!

Mom and Dad love watching the sunset from the
dock with a picnic of pate, prosciutto,
gorganzolla and Verve Clicquot champagne.

Man, it was great to get back to
Auntie Carolyn's! She's the coolest!

Cousin David's dog Holly is a real sweetie...
I never had to worry about dropping Cheerios.

Here is where I tried to no avail to convince
David that he needs to give up on the
Royals and go with the Red Sox.

One afternoon, while I hung out with David, Mom
and Dad went to Savannah and walked through
some of the gardens of good and evil.

I thought he should go for the 6, backspin to
catch the 5, then nail the 3 down in the
opposite corner. But NOOOOO...

David shows off the "Manly Grill Tools" that
Auntie Carolyn recently bought for Uncle Bill.
