Vacation!

We're having a bit too much fun down here in New Smyrna Beach, FL, if that's possible. Mostly we're spending a lot of time on the beach digging in the sand, riding the waves, and at the pool cooling off. We did eat some INCREDIBLE fresh fried fish last night (so good we are going BACK tomorrow night!), but other than that we have stayed around the condo and done a whole lot of RELAXING. Here are some pics...

Jakob jammin' to some music on the way down:The "Uncle Lance" vending machine in our hotel on the way down:
On Saturday we couldn't get into our condo until afternoon, so we stopped on the way down to see the tallest lighthouse in Florida.
I'm not 100% sure why they had a tugboat on display by the lighthouse, but they did...
Yes, we did climb all the way to the top of the 175 ft tall structure.
And yes, it was VERY freaky to climb over 200 stairs and then walk around outside at the top of it. Here is a view looking from the top of the lighthouse toward New Smyrna Beach in the distance:

Entering in style!
The next two are my favorites. Action shots jumping the waves!

You mean I'm allowed to play in the mud and get as dirty as I want???
Pay no attention to the chubby guy on the right...
Studly dude.
