Happy 30th Birthday Mike

On Saturday Aylin had a surprise birthday party for Mike. It was a surf and turf feast of lobsters and stakes. Every detail was thought of even how to distract Mike. He was under the impression that they would be hosting a holiday BBQ on the following day. We all showed up ready to party together. Check out the Birthday Boy, and the cake hungry kids

Cool Cake, nice choices Aylin

Tobey/Johnson Boating Day

On Sunday a very clear and sunny day we had invited the Johnson family to join us up at the boat on the lake for the day. We had purchased a new tube to pull be hind the boat and brought lots of food and drink to enjoy the day. It was just picture perfect. A great time was had by all. Check out some of the goofy shots.

Happy 4th of July

On our way back from Nashville we had a stop over in Washington DC. It was so appropriate for the day. We had a perfect view of the Capital building, and the Washington Monument.

The best part of all was that we took off from Regain Airport during their fireworks display. On the tarmac we were able to see most of the show, what a show it was then we took off right into the grand finally. It was truly awesome!

July in Nashville

Last week we started out the holiday weekend in Nashville. What a vibrant city, it is so driven by arts and music so much fun and learned so much as well. Got to love the Duck Tours. Here are a few shots from our early holiday celebration.

We made the must stop at the Grand Old Opry what an amazing place! It was miles and miles of beauty, indoor waterfalls, rivers, and most of all Country history. Here are a few shots from inside the Gaylord OpryLand.

We also explored down town Nashville, we saw music row where all of the recording houses are for the biggest and smallest names. We took a fun filled Duck tour of the Down Town area, it was cool to see all of the 4th of July celebrations that were going on as well. They had a battle of the bands contest going on along the river front.

While in Nashville you must dress like the locals right

We also checked out the Sting Ray Experience, we got to feed them and get soaked by them too.Over all we had a great time the weather was wonderful and warm we had lots of outside pool time and family time best of all. Looking forward to returning one day.
