Park City, Utah:
We are not really a ski family...but we do enjoy the mountains in the summer. I was amazed during our trip to Park City (ski resort) in August, how many activities were available. We stayed at the Canyons Resort, and while Bren golfed in his tournament...the boys and I hiked in Park City and Deer Valley. The views are breathtaking...starting with the ski lifts and hiking down and around. There was mountain biking, horseback, riding, and a down hill luge that we all had a thrill doing. I can't believe I took my 4 year old, Trip, on that with me, with no straps or anything...eek. The older boys also did a zip line...

Vieques, Puerto Rico
Spring Break 2007
A small island off of Puerto Rico...previously owned by the US Navy and used for bombing practice. After gaining its independence from the Navy, it is now a virtually untouched island oasis, often referred to as the Spanish Virgin Islands. We flew into San Juan, Puerto Rico and then took a taxi to Fajardo...where we awaited our 1hr+ ferry ride to Vieques. We stayed in a beach front house, overlooking a small pond (the afternoon destination of some of the island's wild horses). We rented a rugged jeep and spent the week exploring private beaches, snorkeling in clear blue water, and enjoying the culture and language around us! Fantastic vacation...we want to go back but there is so much else of the world to explore...
