Vacation, June 2003


Crystal, Lilo, and I took the plane down to Sawgrass, FL for the last week of June. Click on the thumbnails below for full size (1024x768) photos.

A view of the Sawgrass beach and the new beach club being built.

Another aerial view of some of Sawgrass.

An Anhinga decided to sun itself on our back porch.

Ahh, finally on the beach.

K.C. and Lilo bask in the Florida sun.

K.C. and Lilo wind down with a nice game of Scrabble. (Lilo is winning!)

On Wednesday, we flew to Cedar Key, FL on the gulf coast.

Cedar Key used to be a cedar mill town.

Now it's mainly a fishing town with some tourism.

Once on the ground we met a local named Mike who lent us his golf cart!

Back in St. Augustine, a military helicopter lands as we are tying down.
Crystal took a short video while landing in St Augustine. She didn't hold the camera very still though. ;-)

We left on Sunday, but ran into some bad weather over Southeast Georgia. The storm system ahead of us seemed to span infinitely in all directions so I landed in Hazlehurst, GA. Jason, the airport manager, was gracious enough to offer us the airport car if we needed to stay the night. He also let me plug my laptop into the fax line to check the NOAA weather radar.

Thankfully about 45 minutes later the storm had moved East of us and we continued the flight home.
