Florida 2009

My trip to Florida was the best ever. It included time with family, friends, good food, and lots of fun. I have to thank Kelly, Abby, Doug, Dave, Jen, and Cheryl for taking time to visit with me. I had a blast! And of course all my love and thanks to my hosts for this trip who insured I was entertained the whole time, Michelle and Crystal. I have tried to create a synopsis of the trip. Not everyone will understand what I'm talking about. You can ask if you want further explanation.

Traveling
The girl in the tight white shorts and neon blue heels (seriously, you looked in the mirror and thought that looked good); Cleveland does not rock; wheezing, can't breathe

My Family
Lunch with Dad at the Green Iguana; watching the girls play; lil sis imitating big sis
Baby Sis 30th Birthday
Jo being a good sport wearing that outfit; Kobe's; the symbol banging birthday celebration; HATM; Johnnie (best waiter in town); all our requests being played; jello shots; trash can (it's a drink); Crystal's phenomonal performance of Gin 'n Juice; Shane and his Copa performance

Disney/ City Walk
Chat with Kelly in Tommorowland; laughing so hard I cried on Thunder Mountain; perfect weather; Philharmagic (my favorite ride); Margaritaville; 20 oz. margarita; Michelle dancing to Volcano Blows; Woman to Blame; Pat O'Briens; beignets and bad coffee; awsome band playing outdoors

Sunday
Nephew's excitement over his birthday gift; Beef's with the in-laws; Craig channeling James; fantastic chat over dinner; Baby Christopher; seeing old friends (Abby and Jen, we've been friends 8 years); StarGate Pilot (great tv)

Thanks for all the fun!

It sounds like you had a fantastic time all around. Awesome. You look great! Glad things went smoothly. Sorry I missed you seeing you this time. I owe you a trip to Indiana. Miss you.

It was great time and it was so good to see you, especially the dreamy RDA moments. Oh, and I'll sing Gin N' Juice for you anytime.

Well I forgot...the realization I was the oldest at the table; spending time with my girl, Gatsby; bathroom break every hour; Cheryl getting carded; still friends with Kelly after her review; missing Sonia; getting my dress for Catherine's wedding (hole in my wallet, and yes, it was the first dress I tried on); sigh...RDA; Village Inn Banana Nut pancakes (worth the trip); true sweet ice tea; look it's a castle; the ladies who shared a table with us at Pat's, plus the lady who got tired of watching us try to take a pic; dancing with the nieces and bunny
