After sunning and drinking a cocktail....

There really isn't anything else to do BUT to strap yourself to a cable and zipline through the jungle. Here we are at the top point of the rain forest

And here's dad zipping through the trees.

At the bottom, you land on the beach where you can enjoy parrots and.......

MONKEYS!

More Roatan

In addition to enjoying the sun and surf, checking out the local watering holes is an island favorite.

Here we are at Mavis and Dixie's the bar and restaurant located conveniently 20 feet from our front door. The frozen beverages were excellent, the seafood amazing, but what kept my mom, Jamie and I coming back were the Mojitos made by bartender Rodney.

Roatan, Honduras

As you may recall, I spent last week in Roatan, Honduras on the Kershner Family Vacation. We arrived to beautiful weather and a tropical, somewhat undeveloped island. The house my parents rented shockingly looked exactly like the picture on the internet, and did not disappoint at all in ammenities nor view, as you can see.

ON VACATION!

Hi All!

I'm out for a week with my family in beautiful Roatan, Honduras!

Election Night!

Welcome to the EMILY's List "war room". As we watched the returns (SLOW RETURNS for a while), our cautious optimisim settled into sheer nervousness. Early reports showed our two Senate races (Shaheen in NH and Hagan in NC) up, but with small numbers reporting. As those numbers increased, we learned that YES!, in fact, we did elect two more women to the U.S. Senate, taking over two Republican Senate seats.

Then the steady roll of states that came in for Obama...at 11:00, everyone was holding their breath, knowing it was over and that Senator Obama would become President-elect Obama, but just needing to hear it from one of the networks to make it official. I wasn't prepared for how emotional it would be to watch history being made, and to have just been just one small part of the millions upon millions of hopes and dreams that made this happen.

Maybe this moment affords us the chance to believe where once we may have lost hope. Maybe this is a reminder that together, we can do anything and that so much is possible if we remember that we are all in this together. For everyone who has ever worked it politics, there is inevitably a time where you become cynical and you lose sight of what it was that made you choose this wacky career anyway. The past election cycle has taught me to believe again. Sometimes to believe so hard that it breaks your heart when what you want so badly doesn't happen. And then to remember that it's not about one person or another, but the ideas that a person presents that can move ordinary people can do extraordinary things.

Joining our brave brigade in NH were two of EMILY's List directors, Patricia Williams and Sherry Merfish. Don't they look bright-eyed on day one! With them on the case, I am SURE that NH voters can't help but go our way!

More from New Hampshire

As you might imagine, after such an early morning, my traveling companions were very excited when I forced them to take their picture in front of the Moose statue in the Manchester airport. I figured we had to do it then, because word was that the McCain Palin campaign was on it's way to NH, so by the time we got back, I figured Sarah Palin would have shot and field dressed the moose, thus ending our opportunity to get this prize photo.
