Spring Break '06



Six of us made the trip down to Kill Devil Hills, NC for the weekend. I know from the name you wouldn't expect this place to be the hopping spring break '06 destination...and it wasn't hopping, but it was a great place to get away for the weekend. We stayed in a huge house that had a hot tub...this was definitely a requirement since it didn't get above 50 degrees the whole weekend. We were at the BEACH...but we were inside a lot and played many games of pool, catch phrase, battle of the sexes, and watched movies.


Roarrry and Maddy, the future Boseks, sporting their navy and yellow attire at Mako Mike's. Mako is a type of shark. This was my first experience with makos...I tried the blackened Mako...tasted like chicken, I probably should of stuck with tuna.

I don't know if any of you have seen Shark Tales...but this was not a vegetarian shark. It was a close call, Roarry might have some permanent damage...he's just glad to still be alive...good thing he's friends with me!






Getting prepared to go in for a "polar bear swim" at the Outer Banks...it was 45 degrees and there were some killa waves...but we successfully accomplished the mission.





(After the swim)...The rules of the swim include: sprinting from the sand till you are fully submerged in the ocean, after you have successfully completed the submersion you can go back to the sand...but if it's windy you might as well stay in the ocean.
I recommend everyone should experience this at least once in your life...but you might want to make sure there is a hot tub near by to prevent hypothermia...

"Where the streets have no name"

Unbeknownst to me...Bono, U2's lead singer, spoke at the national day of prayer breakfast at the White House on February 2nd. How cool!!! I wish him and Laura Bush would have broken out in song, but here is a copy of what he said.
