Rach and I were there on a family vacation with Grandad, Babah, JB, Emily, and Blake... beautiful beach location, and we had a fun hotel suite where Rach and I had our own room (thank God!). After our mac n' cheese dinners, we took walks on the beach every night and saw the fliers for the "Parasailing and Free Banana Boat Ride!" Justin Kunz, our awesome friend from CHA days, was living in Florida at that point, so he met up with us for dinner one night and came out with us for parasailing the next morning! =)
I still remember that Sean Paul and Sasha's obnoxious song, "I'm Still in Love with You, Boy" was playing from the boat! lol Parasailing was fun and not at all scary. Going with Justin was fun (he did a round with me, Rach, and Blake, I believe!) and the view was gorgeous. The worst part was being tossed back and forth by the waves in the short boat ride out. We did the free Banana Boat ride later that day, which was our biggest mistake of the trip! The whole point was to shake you up and toss you off the boat in the middle of the (massive and overwhelming and full of scary jellyfish and sharks) ocean, then you swim for it and get back on, then it happens again and again. NOT my idea of fun, and certainly not Emily's, who was young and crying and scared to death at that point. I do remember that Rach's leg was cut and bleeding, so she insisted on getting back on first since sharks can smell blood! Haha Funny looking back... not so funny that day. Anyway, hooray for fun family vacations and for Justin Kunz and Daytona Beach and parasailing fun!!
