Balboa Island Adventure

Brain cancer is...
...continuing to learn about living life like we're on vacation.

Here are today's lessons.

• Hang out with the people you love.  Today was our "date day" with Melanie and Gail.

• Go some place new, close to home.  (This was Lesson #7, learned by Brady and Linda Guillaume last weekend.)  Melanie and Gail took us to Balboa Island today.  They know it well, but it was new to us as a couple.

• Learn a fun new thing.    Melanie sprung for a Sister Adventure and took Andi paddle boarding, Andi's first paddling trip.  Thanks, Sis!

• Important sub-lesson:  Learn that fun new thing from a really good teacher.  There's a reason Melanie is an Educator.  I stayed upright, so you know she's a good teacher.

• Do what the locals do.  Gail and Melanie taught us the pleasure of Balboa Bars and Frozen Bananas.  Living life like you're on vacation requires tasty treats, or more specifically, according to Gail, Balboa Bars and Frozen Bananas.  

• When possible, take a ferry.  Today:  Possible.

We are still smiling.  Thanks so much, Gail and Melanie, for these important life lessons!
