In La La Land!

Ok I'm not really in LA LA Land. We are in Hilton Head. But vacationing anyhow! Scott and I are really enjoying having some time away. So if we are MIA more then normal that's why. The Resort we are staying at doesn't have a high speed connection, what the heck???? LOL
Jackson got his first ride on an airplane, and he LOVED it. He was upset when we were leaving the airport because he wanted a ride on another plane!
We flew Independance Air (the official airline of the Redskins), and I would highly recommend it. They are still ironing out the kinks of being new but the experience was wonderful!
Either way I'll miss you guys for a few days. Sorry to disappoint some of you but I will be back!

Enjoy the vacation!
Jackson's a lot braver than me. I wouldn't be able to handle being thousands of feet in the air. I'm scared of heights. I almost had a heart attack when I was on the "Eiffel Tower" at Kings Dominion 7 years ago.

My g/f and I got on it this summer like 5 times in a row! There is NOTHING like it. She even bested me and held her hands up without yelling/screaming. I didn't yell but I grunted when the free fall started, but I got it right the 2nd time. I love a lady who has a lil tomboy in her.[/b]

No that's SkinsChic.
Have a great time Niki, Scott and Jackson. You have to go to Cattails for dinner (if it's still there) they have the best fruit cobbler for desert I have ever had. You have to order it when you order you entre, and it's wonderful. I had Peach and Blueberry. Stripes is also a good place, great Crab Bisque.
Have fun.

Have an incredible vacation Niki, Scott and Jackson! So glad Jackson enjoyed the flight -- it could have gone either way! Much better to fly with a happy kid!
Anyway, enjoy the time away -- I KNOW you all deserve it!!! And, when you get back, we'll be that much closer to FOOTBALL Season!

Have a grat time on vacation!
Jake check this out, the "Big Shot" video, I went on this 4 times in Las Vegas. It's on top of a 120 (or so) story building, it's a "free-fall" type ride, you would think (well at least that's what I thought) coming down is worse, but it's going up that is, because you shoot up at 70 mph. When you lift about 10 feet off of the roof you can't see the building anymore, ONLY Vegas, which is about 1100 feet down from the peak! You think your gonna go up and keep going and going, it's crazy! You still have a few years, but you have to check this out 1 day!

Thanks guys!
Hailskins, we are with family. If we could have come on our own we would have had a much more peaceful time!

Thanks for the well wishes. NC, we are going out to dinner tonight so we may have to check out one of those restaurants. BH, chek your PMs. Sorry I am not typing more, but this POS laptop doesn't have a very good keyboard. Have to press most of the letters 5 times before you see the letters pop up. Must be the 57 times I have dropped it.

Hope they are still there JansenFan, it's been awhile since I have been to Hilton head. Have fun.
