    Default Proud Grandpa II

    My 10 year old grandson Gabriel enjoyed the sporting trip of a lifetime the week before Thanksgiving.

    He and his Dad and Mom spent a week in the Florida Keys enjoying life to the fullest.

    Gabriel and his Dad left out of Islamorada on the Relentless in search of sailfish. It was a five fish day with Gabriel landing two!! Of course he had a little help from his Dad, but he did all of the retrieve! He got a second opportunity as one of their compadres gave up his turn to Gabriel. I am so proud of the little guy! It couldn't have happened to a more sweet little fella!!

    Her are a couple of pics.......










    Wow, I'm envious!!

    Anyway, on the following Sunday they travelled to Homestead to watch Jimmie Johnson capture Nascar history by winning his fourth consecutive Sprint Cup Championship. Garage passes, skybox, the works!!

    I am so happy for him I can't find the words.

    His hug and big smile was enough though when they returned home!!

    When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.

    BobbyG,

    That's a good looking grandson there, (I'm guessing he got that from grandma?) I don't blame you a bit for being proud!!!

    I'm either going to, coming from or thinking about fishing. Jim

    Bob, looks like a great trip, thanks for sharing. My fondest memories are with my wife and kids in the outdoors.
