Christmas 2002 was spent in Venice, Florida with Kim's parents, Bill and Alice. Steve and Julie, Alex and Annette, and Mom and Dad all came down (Dave and Aleja were MIA). Dad brought their new trailer, not the one they flipped and demolished on the way to Lake Tahoe (wink wink). This not only relieved the living arrangement (I slept on hard floor first 5 nights, but added to the entertainment. Fire side cook outs, hot dogs, fresh mangrove snapper, marsh mellows, and Jack Daniels were a few of the perks at the campsite.

Alex made a quick trip to Ft. Lauderdale for night fishing for swordfish. He came back with a cooler full. They were lucky enough to land 2 fish, 250lb. and 150lb. Too bad we don't have those pictures in digital.
