Fun on the Ohio - Again

Had another great day on the ohio, albeit this one had a little less action than the less one. No capsized boats, or drowning dogs. The weather was great and the water was warm as could be. We had to make a pretty short day out of it however as we had a Tool concert that started at 8:00 PM the same night. As always, here are the pics.

No better way to start out the day. We at least waited until noon to crack open the first one...

I swear there's a good story behind this pic.

The girls pose for a picture. MY beautiful gf is the one on the left.

This is the best "sexy" pose i can do. Sad isn't it?

And last but not least, here are the grandparents out doing the YMCA. This is the first time I've seen them out on the tube.

Makinac Island

Well, finally got out and about for a proper weeklong vacation for the first time in over a year. This time I got to enjoy my time with my wonderful girlfriend! :-) We decided to head up to Michigan (which is where she grew up) and visit with her family for a while and then head up to Mackinac Island and visit some of the attractions up there. I've never really been that far north so all of the Flora and Fauna were pretty new to me. I even got to see a bug I have never seen before, which is pretty rare. In any case on with the pics, which is what everyone is always interested in.

Here is me and my girlfriend on the best form of transportation available on the island. It was strange being somewhere the entire day and not seeing a car.

One of a few action shots I snapped while she wasn't looking. Doesn't she look cute?

And of course, I'm addicted to scenery shots. Here are a couple:

We also stopped by the butterfly house. I got a few good shots, this being one of my favorites of them.

We finally got to the beach, although the weather did not want to cooperate. It was pretty cold and windy out. I cannot take credit for this shot however, as my lovely girlfriend was the one who suggested it.

I also got to take my girlfriend to do something she has always wanted to do, but never had the chance.

And no trip is complete without a complete breakdown of basic gravitational laws. I'll let you figure this one out on your own.
