The holiday weekend is over and now I'm jones'n vacation later this month. You can't begin to imagine on how good it feels to sleep in, and sleeping in for us is 8.30a. It was awesome meeting many of you at RHB this past Thursday. The fireworks are by far the best we've seen in a long while. We were contemplating attending the Fireworks at the Fountain or the display at Lake Monroe on the 4th, but we opted not do deal with the crowds and kept the evening low-key at our home. It was good waking up on Saturday without a hang-over so it was off to the gym to work off some of the 4th of July BBQ indulgence. That evening Dawn and I had heard that a local restaurant had updated their menu and was under new management so we decided to give it a another shot and to our surprise it exceeded our expectations. Of the entire holiday weekend I must say that the most chill day for me was Sunday and we took a road trip to Brooksville where our friends have a river house and we spent the afternoon tubing down the river and playing in the springs. After many hours of splashing around we worked up an appetite and it was time for another round of BBQ.  After reading this you can plainly see why we are looking forward to vacation at the end of month where we are heading down to Captiva/Sanibel Island. Now I must go cash in my winning $5 Lotto ticket.
