Das Boot

Boyz and their toyz! The boat finally arrives in town, all nicely wrapped up. Looks sorta funny like this, makes it look huge. Once it got all unwrapped, they started putting in the electronics. GPS, radar and sonar are all installed, so we should never get lost, or caught in a storm or caught on the rocks!!! We'll just stick with that thought! After a short sea trial, actually done on a large lake, it was time to transport to the river inlet to head up the intercoastal waterway. John & Jovan were dropped off and headed up the river towards our new place in New Port Richey. Here are a few shots from the day.

John and Jovan ready for water!

In they go...

I barely make it back for their arrival.

A quick trip back out in the gulf. It's surprising how big those waves really are. After flipping my camera onto my foot, I end up on my ass on the floor of the boat!!

This was the last shot I took from the front of the boat, right before I hit the deck!
Thanks for the warning, Jovan!
The first docking.
The last hurdle, putting it on the boat lift. A little scary the first time.
A funny looking hull on this thing. Here's to a smooth ride!
Stay tuned for the adventure...

On The Campaign Trail in Polk City, FL.

Get out there and VOTE!!!

No, you havent come to Kerri's blog by accident, it's really mine! Normally, I am so far away from politics, but this year somehow I sorta got sucked into it. I actually was bummed about all the candidates, until Sarah came on the scene. I like her no nonsense point of view, the way she says it like it is. She isnt your everyday politician, maybe that is the appeal for me. We had just gotten back to Florida when we recieved an email saying she was going to be in Polk City....whooda thunk it! So I got online, printed off my ticket and I was ready to go. Normally, I would stay as far away from this stuff as I could, but there was something historical about it, and I had to go. Our neighbors, Jaime and Van were also going, so John dropped us off at the gait (great plan) and we fought the crowds. We actually got a pretty good spot considering all the people there. Okay, so I'm pushy, whatever works ya know! Here are a few shots from the opening ceremonies to some of the locals with their own signs. If you get the chance to go to a rally, do it! No matter who you vote for, it's a great experience.

Sarah Palin & The First Dude, Todd

You Betcha!

A few local signs

This was a cute tshirt, there were a few people with these on.

These two little ones, Tyler & Katie are an example who they are fighting for, they will be cleaning up the mess that Barack Obama could be making for America.

And a fond farewell to Polk City

Oh yeah, she had great shoes on too! LOL
And a little comedy relief!!
