Vacation 2010 - The Blow Out & the Blast

Our Vacation started with a BANG...literally! About 2 hours down I75 going 70 mph - we blew a rear passenger side tire. I heard it going down before it blew and was able to change lanes & slow down before the back half of the tire exploded! God was sooooooo gracious in keeping that overloaded 3 seat wagon from flipping.
Found out the donut spare was also flat but a shot of air from the AAA wrecker fixed us up just fine! Three hours & a decent lunch later - we were on our way to Cape Coral!
We finally made it late Monday night but the kids just HAD to jump in the pool! Sam learned to swim the next day thanks to Anna! Way to go Sam!Ben loves the jacuzzi. He calles it "His Water". By the way - those armies that also have a float across the chest with one clasp in the back are WONDERFUL! They keep the little fellas a float & upright. Ben loves it!The kids have really enjoyed the pool as have I. It is especially nice at night with the underwater lights on.
