Surfing in the heartland

Might be a little bland, but my start page has been www.google.com for years. Recently, I started using the google "Personalize Your Homepage" option. Google allows you to customize your google view. For example, maybe you want to maintain your "to-do list", know the current weather, or see the current traffic situation in your area. Check it out!

Cape San Blas, FL - 2006

Well the big summer trip came and went. I was excited to bring my kids to a place that I had enjoyed going to when I was their age. I was also very excited to attend the wedding of a really close friend who was getting married on the cape.

My wife and I were concerned about the length of the trip. The drive was going to take 13-15 hours (depending on the online map service used for estimating). We decided to do the trip in one shot. The night before the trip, I loaded the SUV, set up the kid's entertainment center (DVD players, power inverter, and the kid's game cube), and attempted to sleep as much as I could before our early AM departure.

We were simply amazed at how easy the drive was!

We rented an amazing condo while we were on the cape (see picture above). The condo community served as the perfect place for a beach wedding and family vacation. What a great time!

The return trip was also easy. On the way back we actually knocked an hour off the trip by choosing a better route. We also decided to start back a little later (8:30 AM vs 5:00 AM).
