More Firsts

We’ve arrived in Florida and adventures abound.

Today, an old friend took us out onto the waters of Turtle Beach and I tried a stand up paddleboard for the first time.

It was intimidating at first and frustratingly slow, but I loved the workout and the freer feeling of standing in the wind.

Wake from boats and jet skis was a challenge, but I never toppled. I look forward to my next opportunity to SUP.

My sons each had a kayak and we were shown a great little spot that lead us to the Gulf of Mexico. It was our first time in this body of water and the sand and water were beautiful.

We finished the day with a fantastic sunset in Sarasota and serious goofiness with my friend’s growing family.
