I love being by the water. Who doesn’t? All of my favorite moments (with the exception of a few others) have been by the water, or better yet, the ocean. In 2005 my family and I went on a family vacation to Maui Hawaii. It was awesome. Bobby and I were underclassmen in college and Leon was in Highschool. We all had big hair then and our family was always mistaken as local.

Nah Brah, we aren’t local but howzit?

Our family had a blast there. Its been 6 years before our family went on another get away to just enjoy our company. We recently went to Monterey Bay. I was the most excited to visit the aquarium and boy it was awesome. I saw otters, a sea turtle, kelp that was 4 stories tall and schools of fish. We went as a family and I loved it. Bobby and I are far away and It’s great how our family was blessed with an opportunity to relax together and just enjoy being around each other. But we can’t drive around together in the same car, in our family there is 5 navigators and 5 drivers. There is only 5 of us. 

We went for lunch in this really nice restaurant on the wharf where there are several really nice restaurants. I asked my mom if she wanted the seafood platter and she said “it was too expensive.” I didn’t get it. When i’m done with grad school and working, nothing will be too expensive while on vacation with my family. My parents deserve the best. My dad- the king, My mom- the queen. This vacation was a definite beautiful surprise and I can’t wait till we have another one.

It’ll be by the water.
