Florida Trip

Well, since Danelle set this up I better see if I can figure out how to use it. We had a wonderful week in Florida. After we arrived in St. Petersburgh and got our vehicle, we drove across the bridge to Tampa to pick up Dale and Bonnie. Then we headed back to St. Petes to the house we had rented for the week. When we arrived at the house, Danelle and her friend were there. Dan and I knew they were coming but it was a surprise to the rest. The had gotten in earlier so took care of getting the key and opening the house. After settling into our rooms and a trip to WalMart, we ventured out to find a place to eat supper. After some driving and a few wrong turns, we found a Crabby Bills - which is an awesome place to eat. In fact, we ate there 3 times!! We enjoyed several days at the beach - which included a few sunburns in various places. We proved that sunscreen really does work when applied. Dale decided to not take off his clothes at the beach again so the next time, he wore long sleeve shirt and long pants and covered his face with a towel. Beach bum is not the life for him!!! We took a "pirate ship" boat tour and seen lots of dolphins. Spent one day at Busch Gardens and went to an aquarium. Went downtown St. Petes and walked around the Pier. We really enjoyed having a heated swimming pool at the house - had our morning and evening swims. We hated to leave but the time came when we had to part ways. Arrived home just in time for a snowstorm on Friday!! Another 8 inches of snow!! I believe we have now reached 100 inches of snow for the year. Broke the record of 77 inches of snow. Maybe sometime I'll try to post some pictures - I don't have that figured out yet. Back to school now after a long spring break!!

Why Hello all

So since I am always checking up on all of you, Danelle finally convinced me to make my own. Ok so maybe she just made it for me but we will see how it goes. Right now we are getting ready to go to Tampa with Dale and Bonnie. We are all in need of a little warm weather has we have gotten enough snow for the winter and the temperatures this year have just been ridiculously cold. I will try my best to keep this updated!!!
