Scuba Adventure in Cozumel, Mexico

We spent a wonderful week scuba diving at the second largest reef in the world.  Water temperature was a constant 83⁰F.  We had a room in a special section of the Occidental Allegro called the Ultimate Dive Experience.  Divers had their own private lounge, pool and concierge.  The dive boat never took more than 10 minutes to reach the pristine reef which is a National Maritime Park. 

We will publish photos from our 10 dives after we have had time to go through them.  In the meantime, here is a video made by a professional who dove with our boat one day.

Strawberry Picking

We chose a great day to pick 8 quarts in 20 minutes.  Anna promptly made some jam for when the strawberry season here was over.

And strawberry shortcake for dinner today with Oma, Opa, and Lynne and Jim!

A very short video of Anna's handiwork: iris, azalea and knockout roses.

OBX in April

Visited our beach house accompanied by Lynne and Jim.  We love walking on the beach when almost no one is here.  It was sunny and windy and the dolphins were feeding close to shore.

Garth Brooks Concert

Garth and his wife, Trisha Yearwood, performed at the PNC Arena in Raleigh.  It was a not-to-miss concert and we sat row 11, center. The energy and showmanship were the best we've ever seen.  And Garth's songs were, as always, amazing.

 

Visit to Utah

We flew non-stop from Raleigh-Durham to Salt Lake City to visit our Utah family.  We spent time with Liza, Paul, Maggie , and Jeff eating (and drinking) in Salt Lake City.  We ate lots of sushi

and did downhill skiing at Solitude.

And we all had the usual fabulous dinner at Gail and Richard's house in Park City.  We spent the night there and the next day we went cross-country skiing at Sundance.

The visit was, of course, too short - but WONDERFUL!
