Dear Jack,

On our recent vacation to Naples in Florida, your Uncle Tom was thoughtful to rent a boat for our family one morning.

Most of the time, it was Uncle Tom who was driving through the canals of Tampa; as we actually saw dolphins several times!

But once the coast was clear, he handed the steering wheel over to you for a while.

You were truly driving our boat!

And you confirmed: Your favorite part about us getting to rent a boat was when you got to drive it.

Now that I think of it, I don’t even think I’ve ever driven a boat!

Love,

Daddy
