Florida Trip

For our 2nd anniversary and Memorial Day getaway, Elaina and I went to Melbourne, Florida to hang out with Elaina's mom and dad (Melanie and Heiri). We had such a great time! 95% of the time was spent RELAXING, which is exactly what we needed after a stressful first half of 2007. Below are some highlights :)


The condo was about 30 feet from the ocean. The weather and ambiance were perfect.



Every morning and afternoon we all went on walks along the coast. Look how happy Heiri and Elaina are!



Inarguably the best part of the trip was meeting Heiri's daughter, Michelle, and her boyfriend Patrick, who flew down for Memorial Day weekend. Look at the interesting conversation they're having!



Michelle and Patrick made us drink a lot of alcohol.


See exhibit 1. A $300 margarita maker.


We drank so much the kisses started flying....


See?


Although we didn't take a cruise, we did get to drink a lot of beer before waving our asses off to the departing cruise ship.



I don't know why they had to put up a sign like this. I mean, everyone knows to poke out the eyes of a carcass before throwing it away. Remind me again why Elaina and I are now vegetarian??



Patrick and I were the only ones needing Burn Relief. Damn, that sun is hot!
And in case you were wondering, it does not say 'Bum Relief' on the front.



Every morning Heiri galloped through the condo ringing an authentic Swiss cowbell. If we were lucky enough to hear it, we got to see some amazing sunrises:



So long Melbourne! Until next time!

Really lovely to see your pictures. I came across your Blog by accident.
Elaina - I'd really love to talk to your Mom again. If she'd call me 'for old times sake' I'd be very happy. If you get a chance, do give her my number 0044 1793 871006.
As usual 'no strings attached'
