Explore.

Dream.

Discover.

Woohooooo!

Nick taking the leap and jumping off at South Point - the southern most point of the US...I said he was crazy and swore I wouldn't do it....ha!!!

And I almost had heart failure and decided not to do it...but I coudn't have Nick doing something I coudn't do, so I took a deep breathe and off I went! I must be crazy....I don't even like deep water!!!! We don't do bad for a couple of middle aged folks do we? (yep, my students think I'm old...but they think Nick looks younger than me!!!)
