Vacation...





My family and I joined two other families for a week long vacation in Martha's Vineyard. A full 7 days of being unplugged (no email, no phone) was a real treat. If you've been to the island then you know of its charm and beauty. If you have not been, then I strongly suggest you put it on your list of places to visit. There are numerous things about our stay that I enjoyed, like the company of the other families, our excursions around the island, the breath taking scenery and the fresh fish my kids and niece caught for dinner. I think my favorite thing was all the black folks/families there vacationing. We spend so much time lamenting about what is wrong with the black community that I think we forget ( I know I do) that there are plenty of folks out there doing the right thing. They're enjoying there families, creating memories and just plain having a good time. I was also inspired by the history of blacks and Native Americans on the island that I think is often overlooked. It was my first visit but it will not be my last .

i looked at the million pictures you took. I loved it, felt like I was there.

Hmmm I think you should look at photography as a side gig. You can start by shooting CJ's 2 year old pictures. YEAH!
