July 4th and after and before

Well America the beautiful has had another birthday!  Dusty and I celebrated with my folks, eating watermelon and having hamburgers off the grill.  they were d-lish. the watermelon was the best part, it set us back about ten bucks after all said and done the melon was $7 but had to get a bag of ice($2) to put over it in the cooler b/c the thing wouldn't fit in the refrigerator. we purchased it at a fruit stand on the way home from Florida.  we took vaca from sat June 27- July 2 at Navarre beach, Fla.  It was beautiful there, the water was free from oil, at least from what we could tell, but the last day there, we spotted a tar ball.  it was sooo sad!  i hate it for those poor sea creatures.  All in all the week was a success.  I hardly wanted to go back to work, but you know how that goes.  here are a few pictures from our trip. enjoy.
