Vacation!

We spent a weeks vacation in St Petersburg Beach. Our condo was beautiful, right on the beach AND on the inter coastal. It was good to be in St Pete again, Johnny and I lived there for 2 years when we were first married. We spent most of our vacation days at the beach and the pool, but we managed to get away to the grocery store 5 out of our 7 days there! (We can never remember everything!)


We visited the Dali museum, we all enjoyed that! Even Joey was squinting his eyes to see Abraham Lincoln.


Another outing lead us to Johnny's vacation favorite...we stumbled upon the Candy Kitchen! Johnny really was like "a kid in a candy shop!!" One of his former student's parents used to own the shop. It is filled with weird old toys, strange candy like cigarette bubble gum (is that even legal any more?), jaw breakers the size of softballs, home made fudge, ice cream, did I say weird old toys?! Johnny was so happy. It was the tiniest little place, I waited outside because the place was so full and people were lined up outside waiting to get in to taste their treats!





Michael was given the go ahead just before our trip to take off his brace, so he was able to swim and play with the crew. He continues to recover nicely.
On the way home from St Pete we stopped in Tampa and played at Busch Gardens. It was very hot so we took advantage of the water rides, yahooo!
We were not ready to come home (-: but here we are. The kids are having fun with friends, camps and NO homework. We are tackling some much needed home improvement projects and are looking forward to summer visitors!! Come and visit!
