Getting Away from the NBA



The orginal plan was for us to drive to DC the Thursday before Memorial Day to see friends. Then we'd drive to Hitlin Head Island for a few days at the beach.

That all changed when the Magic beat the Celtics and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

After shooting Game 4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers I packed up the family and drove to Hilton Head for four days of rest during an otherwise busy week.

As some may remember we came to Hitlon Head for our "babymoon" when Cathy was almost seven months pregnant. We stayed with my cousin Amy's in-laws Lynne and Blaine Lotz.

The Lotzs have always welcomed us and we've appreciated their hospitality. This was very true this time around considering we brought the monkey man with us. Benjamin was all over the place and let everyone in the house know it.

We had a very nice time while on the island but wished the Magic could've won Game 5 so we could've stayed until Sunday.

Benjamin loved his first trip to the beach. He couldn't get enough of playing in the sand or feeling the waves crash over him.

So here I am writing this entry while riding back to Orlando to shoot Game 6. All I can think about is sitting on the beach, listening to the waves while watching my son play. It's great to be a dad.
