{Luke}

My neighbor Melissa watched Luke so Ty and I could go to a wedding Friday morning. While we were away she took these fabulous pictures of Luke. I love how they capture his personality.

We had 8 days in the most beautiful place on earth. We were lucky to take a vacation with 6 good friends (Johannas & Jenni Neuendorf, Sean & Karyn Parry and Eric & Wendy Anderson). We chartered a 46ft catamarin out of Tortola and sailed to a different island every day. The islands we visited were Norman island, Virgin Gorda, Anagada, Jost Van Dyke, Marina Cay, Scrubb island, Sandy Cay, and my personal favorite Sandy key. Sandy Key was a very small island with white sand beaches and a few palm trees. We were the only ones on the island and I was able to jog around the entire island in a few minutes. Everyone had a great trip and we all got along great. The snorkling was fabulous, we saw thousands of colorful tropical fish, bat rays, string rays, nurse sharks, huge brain coral, fan coral, eels, and huge pirate worthy caves. It seemed like every island we visited was better than the last. The food was great, and the virgin pina coladas kept everyone smiling. This vacation was truly amazing, and we can't wait to set sail again with Capt. Jo and his crew.
