St. Pete Beach

Joe and I got home Thursday night from our little vacation to the beach. It was a great, relaxing week... other than finding our car in the airport parking lot with a dead battery... opps! We mostly spent the week laying around at the beach, eating, and drinking.... which was exactly what we needed for a few days!!

I took a lot of pictures, so I thought I'd share a few...

On the way there we had a connecting flight in Atlanta so Kirstin and my Dad (who was there visiting that weekend) brought us some breakfast (and mimosa's) and visited for a bit.... (I know, my big sis and Dad are awesome)

The bargain was Joe got the window seat to Atlanta, and I got it to Tampa... yeah.... this was my window seat....

This was our hotel... we ended up lucky and got a beach view even though we didn't pay for one because we were on the six floor

A little piece of heaven.....


Dinner at Crabby Bill's...


Sunset from the patio at Crabby Bill's

Handsomest guy I know




Beautiful.....

There were some fan chairs with parachutes we saw a few times at sunset... looked interesting

Our last evening....ahhhhh...... when can we go back??? :)

4th of July

So I'm only a little behind getting these pictures up. We had a great 4th of July weekend. Joe had to work till 3p on Saturday so after that we headed up to Wolcott to his parents for their festival. Unfortunately it was too cold and rainy so just about everything was done for the day and they ended up cancelling the fireworks. So Steve decided to set off some of his own for the girls and the rest of the crowd.

Here is part of the crowd waiting for the show to begin

Joe thought it'd be fun to hide behind a tree and throw a fire-cracker at Sue as she went by! :)

After the excitement wore off they decided to put them in a metal jug and pour some torch fluid in to liven things up... notice the torch in Steve's hand! Overkill maybe? :)

Maddison wore one of Joe's old football helmet's and wouldn't take it off till the fireworks were done

Joe's mom trying to show Maddison how fun sparklers were :)

On Sunday we went back home and found out Indy's fireworks had been cancelled too and they would be putting them off that night, so we went to the top of the parking garage at Methodist with Ash to watch them.

We are getting more excited about our Florida trip... I discovered we're actually staying in St. Pete... something I should have known since I booked the trip!!! Three shifts in a row this week and then we're off!! Wahoo!!!
