We had such a good time.<br /><br />Sharon: That's EXACTLY how I felt when I was on the boat experiencing all of that beauty.<br /><br />DVM's wife: I was thinking of blowing up one of the sunsets into one to frame...I won a free poster on someone else's blog's contest and I may do the one of the clouds and sunset...or maybe the cave one...I just can't decide which one!<br /><br />Bernie: Thanks so much...you are so great to give me all the nice feedback on my photos. I would have LOVED it if you would've told your Dr. about them and if she would have wanted some for her office...if the opportunity comes up again (and you just can't help yourself! ha!) go ahead and tell her. I would be so blown away if she wanted some!<br /><br />Sara: It is even more incredible in person!<br /><br />DJan: Thanks! And to experience it in person was quite thrilling.
