The best part about our trip was unexpectedly seeing my brother. Six weeks ago he was involved in a traumatic FREEK accident where he almost lost his eye. He was rushed by ambulance to Johns Hopkins where they were able to save his eye. His lens was out of place and another surgery was done to remove it. In 3-6 months he will have another surgery to attach an "artificial lens". Right now he has no vision (just blur and shadows in the injured eye). They had just moved to Bethesda, Maryland where my sister in law Tammy started her residency at The National Naval Medical Center. Lucky, because he was treated at a world re-known hospital, unlucky because he is going crazy, being isolated in a new place and not able to do CRAZY things like this. He got the ok to fly out for the vacation at the last minute. He braved the family craziness, my kids hanging on him like monkeys and tried to stay clear of the sand and salt water. We only wish Tammy could of come also.

Oh, I hope your brother gets better soon, eye injuries are scary! Looks like Santa Cruz was fun - the worst part about traveling is getting to and from for sure!
How is it that brothers can do such crazy things?
