Sailing Pics

We went sailing with our friend Shannon and her Dad the other day. It was so much fun. Dan and I took a sailing class last year and it was great chance to get a refreshers course once again. Bill let Dan man the tiller and we set off into Newport's bay. Dan was in Heaven. It was such a beautiful day -- perfect for sailing.

Taylor and Hailey's Wedding

Daniel and I went to Taylor and Hailey's wedding a week or so ago. It was held at Casino San Clemente, a historic Spanish style casino where Judy Garland, Dothy Lamour, Mickey Rooney and many other old-timey celebrities enjoyed music, dining and dancing under the stars. The wedding was absolutely gorgeous! Taylor and Hailey were beautiful and beaming with happiness. It was a complete joy to witness their celebration of love.

Sailing And A Flying Jetpack! Sayyy Whaaa?

Daniel and I finally took a sailing class! We can now officially sail (somewhat) on our own! Yay! Here are some pictures of our 5 week class and all the fun things we learned. I can proudly say that we never capsized and we kept the yelling at eachother to a healthy minimal level. Ha-ha.

B-"No that's not how you do it!"
D-"Yes it is!"
B-"We're gonna tip!"
D-"Chilax "
B-"Arrrghhhh!"

but seriously, we had a blast.
and
Ahem...we were the best in the class.

One of our many yachts...ha-ha


We sailed by this this guy that was wearing some kind of water jet suit! Blew my mind...
I researched it later and found out it's called a Jetlev Jetpack.

 

That was fun. What shall we try next Dan?
Love you.
