June, 2009, Naples, Florida: A favorite travel destination for us. One of our sons works for a company that has a corporate condo right on Vanderbilt beach. This year, due to the large number of family able to go, we also rented a house about two blocks from the condo as well. The house had a large pool, 3br & 2 baths and was beautiful. When the kids and grandkids were still roaring around (where do they get their energy?) the house made a very comfortable place for us to sit by the pool, relax and regroup for the evening events.

Mother and Baby Dolphin from Chartered Boat

This picture was taken from a boat that we chartered. We were lucky enough to see a rather large pod family of dolphins. The picture shows a mother and her baby.
