After mumbling under my breath at all the Facebook pictures I’ve had to endure over the past couple of years with friends sharing their pictures of the beach while I stayed home, I finally got my chance at the big pond this past week. I took most of the family, with the exception of the lovely wife who had just returned home from her girls trip to Europe (aren’t we fancy). This included my sons, ages 9 and 17, my brother-in-law, age 19, and my mother, age – well, I’m not allowed to reveal that delicate information.I really wanted to take my mother since it has been 60 years since she has been to Florida.
