Florida

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 😉

Up up and away!

Tomorrow is the big day: AKA flying to FL with Jimmy!

We leave Pittsburgh at 11:14AM and arrive in Atlanta around 1PM then head to Tampa at 3:25 and get there around 5:45, I believe.

I’m hoping for no delays or crazy luggage loss (this HAS happened to me before…) but I take everything as it comes, it is an adventure!

Today I was at a swim meet BRIGHT and early. (Already warmed up before 8:00AM…) I swam 3 events and didn’t get great times BUT I felt good in the water and my technique was good. I’ll take it!

My madre and I went (Thanks mommy!)

Today I mostly packed and I also bought some new MUCH NEEDED running shoes 😀

what brand of running shoes do you use?


Tonight Jim and I are going ice skating and then of we go tomorrow morning. I’ll try to be posting pictures and giving updates.. but if not, see ya sometime next week!!

I am still so afraid to fly!!!!!
