I am alive!

HELLO! Here I am 🙂

Though my vacation isn’t over (until tonight at 7:45PM) I figured I can blog about it now since I have some time this morning. Here is how the days went:

Sunday: Flew from Pgh to Atlanta to Tampa. My Second cousin picked Jimmy and I up and we had dinner at home with family then jumped in the hot tub!
I lived through the flight because I knew God was in charge 🙂 Thanks for everyone’s advice!!

Monday: Jim and I ran in a nearby park and hit up the beach area then went in the hot tub again at night :o)

Tuesday: On Tuesday Jim, my 2nd cousin, and I all went to Tarpon Springs, Florida to the Sponge Docks! SO COOL. I learned all about sponges and loofah’s. We ate at a Greek restaurant right on the water too! I got to pet a python at the local aquarium!!! At night Jim and I swam and hot tubbed again.

Wednesday: Jim and I went to the beach again because it was about 83 degrees out! We got coffee (YUM and MUCH needed) and hung out. At night we went to the Florida Strawberry Festival which was so fun and interesting! Parking was $8 but we got a free pint of strawberries-YUUUUM. We ate strawberry shortcake and it was delish! For dinner we hit up cracker barrel 🙂

^ SPICY catfish!

Today: We should be heading to the Lowry Zoo in Tampa (weather permitting, I think!) Then we will be back to the airport for our flight home which should arrive at 7:45PM

I have SO many pictures but no one likes an overload so more later 😉

Oh my goodness.

Jealous of the zoo-love it!

And that photo with the smiley so cute! I seriously am so jealous you went to Tampa-a good friend of mine lives down there.

What an AWESOME vacation. So glad you didn’t freak on the plane =D

The sponge place looks like a cool place to check out!!

Snakes seriously creep me out!! I’m getting the heebeegeebees just looking at that photo!! I’m glad the flight and everything was ok!! Sounds like you had a blast 🙂

Free strawberries — Wow! Sounds like you’re having a great time.

ugh. snakes!!!

but strawberries. YUM!

oh too fun! I love the catfish, so good!

Glad you are having fun girl!

I totally thought those loofash were huge cookies at first glance!

It sounds like you had so much fun on your vacation!! I can’t wait to hear more about it and see more pictures. 🙂

Parking strawberries. That’s awesome. No, I am probably not running the half this month. I just haven’t got in enough miles on the treadmill. Since I have no jogging stroller at the moment, no baby sitter, and he doesn’t go or sitting in he bouncy seat at the gym, I do a lot of elliptical. Granted I’ve run a half marathon on no training before but it wasn’t the most pleasant experience… I wouldn’t do that again!

Sounds like you’re having a great time! 🙂

Oh, it looks so warm and delightful! How is spicy catfish, by the way?

PS cannot believe you pet a python *shudder*

What a wonderful trip!!! I love the snake petting, the strawberries, and the hot tub action!! 🙂

omg, so jealous! I feel like I’m in serious need of a vacation, but I’ve got to keep reminding myself I JUST went on vacay in November! Feels like a lifetime ago!!! : )
