Sweet bath huh? Parker was totally digging Grandma Karen's kitchen sink on Fort Lauderdale Beach. Parker no longer wants to be in a lounger. Afterall, lounger tubs are for babies. Not seven month old ladies.

Check me out! All I need now is for mommy and daddy to finally put the boat in the water. Perhaps Next Saturday!

Yes, that's right. That is Parker Anne and I passing through the Presidential Gates in Key West. For those you who are not familiar with these gates, I''ll fill you in. First of all the gates are circa 1906. Up until the last ten years or so they were only to be opened for visiting U.S. Presidents. The last was Kennedy in 1962, when he came to Key West during the Cuban Missile Crisis. In recent years they have been opened for Secretary of State Colin Powell while he was in Key West holding peace talks. Those of you who were at Julie and mines wedding might remember the Little White House was on lockdown up until 45 minutes to the start of our wedding ceremony. Our guests almost had to pass through metal detectors in order to participate. I had actually hoped Colin Powell would have stuck around for the wedding. Anyway, back to the gates. On this Sunday morning in late January 2007 (notice the shorts for all you northerners), Julie, Parker and I were out for our morning breakfast and walk. Wouldn't you know the luck, the gates were open. Being opportunistic I had Julie take several shots. I don't know why people were walking by, wondering what we were doing. Perhaps they didn't know the history behind these gates. I'm sure some of you are quite bored of this by now, heck most haven't even probably read this far. For those of you who have though congratulations, maybe with a little luck they'll be open for you when you come to visit.
