View of the island from our shuttle

Me on the beach

Ahhhhh....the ocean
A cool shot of the waves coming in
Two very pretty seashells we found in the water (in case you're keeping score, I found the bigger one)

Matt had a "run in" with a sand crab

This bird spent about 30 minutes in the water, then got out to dry off
These seagulls followed us EVERYWHERE
Matt acting goofy
Me on the beach

The view from our room...it won't be "beach view" for long, especially when the new parking deck is built

Beer in a can

Beer in a can...again

This marks the gunshot that killed JFK

Okay, I was reading the captions wrong and I thought that the picture of the first dance was the picture UNDER the caption.

That would have been a rockin' first dance.
