Boatin' on the 4th

We celebrated the 4th of July Italian style - renting a boat in Sorrento and touring around Capri. The sky was blue, the landscape was beautiful, and the company was fantastic!
 
Jess, Emma, and I at our first "swim stop" not far from Sorrento

Another swim stop near Sorrento with Capri in the background

Diver Jess
Those dots up on the side of the cliff are Jimmy, Emma, Camden, and Chris. They hopped out of the boat and hiked up into a cool cave
A wave from Camden
We saw some incredible yachts around the island. Here's how the rich and famous celebrate the 4th of July.
After swimming through the Green Grotto, Camden watched some older kids cliff jumping. He wanted to try it out, but had Jimmy go first. :)
Go Camden!
Emma's up next
Jess's turn
Camden's second jump- without a lifejacket!
Daddy/Daughter swim
Chris's turn to cliff jump
Jimmy & Chris enjoyed Commander Barbee's homebrew
Camden was our skipper on our way back to Sorrento
One last swim of the day
An otherwise perfect day was stopped when our car broke down on the way home.  I wish I could have taken a picture of Jess, Jimmy, and Chris pushing our Saturn through the toll booth (I was behind the wheel steering). This was followed by a 2 hour wait for a tow truck. This is my view in the car on the back of the flatbed tow truck as we cruised down the highway.  Yes, it was nerve racking!!  Luckily we only had a 10 minute ride to Carney Park.
