Zippy & I visited Steve & Crystal in Florida!

Zippy & I took a short vacation to Florida to hang out with a friend Zippy has known for a long time over the net (I think ~10 years) but never had the opportunity to meet.

We had a freaking great time down there. We both were feeling really good the whole time we were down there. We spent most of our outdoors time at one of two beaches. I don’t remember the first (where most of the pictures stem from) but the second beach was Cocoa Beach. Since Steve has been a long time resident of Florida he drove all of us in our rental car everywhere we wanted to go. I think he even figured out how to get the darn car to turn on every time you pressed the power button. I never did quite understand it although having a vehicle that was really nice on fuel (42+mpg) was quite convenient.

I’ve never had the opportunity to try surfing and have always wanted to so we had Steve drive us to the beach a couple times. Sadly the waves weren’t quite what we needed but regardless of that the beach was a heck of a nice place to hang out.

Crystal, Steve & I

And of course.. Zippy & I.

Steve & Crystal are two very awesome individuals. We enjoyed every minute of our vacation at their place and definitely want them to visit us when they can. If all goes well they will hopefully get a chance to visit us within a year or two and quite possibly join Zippy & I on a trip to Europe in November 2009. I’m really excited about it.
