Every single week since March 16, we spent at least one day of our weekend on various lakes in our new pontoon boat with friends and family. Lots of BBQ, drinkin', swimmin', tubin', fishin', and just hanging out together. Quality time indeed. The sunsets are gorgeous over the water.
Still have a few weeks of summer left here in TX, so we are headed out again on Thursday.

Lots of time spent with my son, several great weather weekends by the pool, an awesome Florida vacation, several good cookouts/pool parties. It was a great Summer at our house.

It was great for me, not being in CA for the first summer since the early 60s

Best thing after being alive, NFL has started and our legendary summer heat is on the way out. I was trimming my palms a month ago and it was 107 out. So the temps are starting to drop and the NFL has started. For me that means my Sunday motorcycle rides are the best of the entire year. All the football fanatics are glued to their couches so I have my twisty roads to myself, in conjunction with great temps. Love September and October, my favorite two months due to temps, lower wind speeds, and the horde is cleared out.

Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24
Hard to pick one thing. The trip to Hilton Head stands out as memorable with lots of outstanding restaurants, golf at Harbortown, good fishing and many hours with family biking and playing on the beach. I love summer, and hate to see Fall come. Fall generally gives me the creeping dreads that winter is coming. I hate winter.

Either it was the three week security detail I spent from mid June to early July in Hawaii at Kiluwea (got to experience a magnitude 5.3 quake every day, and awesome weather and scenery), or the week long family vacation at Ocean City (swimming in the ocean every day, also great weather and time with the fam). Impossible to choose.

Growing up, I spent many summer days at the pool with my best friend. Now, these days, that same best friend has a pool, and I spent a lot of days this summer hanging out at his pool, much like old times, except now our children are the ones making all the ruckus in the pool. Watching our kids playing as friends, and playing with them, sure is heartwarming, tons of fun, and makes me feel like a kid again!
We also got just got back from a fantastic family vacation to Charleston. Building sandcastles with my little girl was awesome! Lots of good food, and good times with my family and cousins.
