We're HOME!!!

I apologize to everyone who was looking for updates this week, the days were pretty packed and the nights were welcomed by me!! I was exhausted by the end of the days!!! We had a GREAT time!! We got home around noon today and Fenway was SOOO glad to see us (we were very glad to see him as well). I was hoping that my family could come over tonight to get their souvenirs but maybe Sunday....I will get pictures posted to my facebook soon!!!!!

St. Petersburg, FL!!!!!!!


Well we made it to St. Petersburg today around 3:00pm....we had about a 6 hour drive from Savannah here, it's beautiful!!! We are staying at a hotel near a marina, and our room overlooks the water. I love how many palm trees are here!! Tomorrow we are planning on going to "The Pier", which is a mall (essentially) on a pier, it looks really neat!! It has quite a few restaurants and several excursions that leave from there.

I got upset earlier today because I talked to Mom (to wish her a Happy Mother's Day) and she said that Fenway has been really depressed, he isn't eating or drinking as much as usual, and apparently is walking around the house whining. It made me cry, I don't want him to be sad!! I know he's "just a dog", but he's our baby!!! We don't want him to be depressed!! My sis and her b/f are watching him while we are gone, which makes me feel a little better because I know he isn't alone. Plus Mom is going over there pretty much everyday to let him out mid-day and spend some time with him. I know he enjoys the company!

Well, we just ate at a restaurant here at the hotel called Periscopes, it was SOOOO good!!! I got fresh tomatoes filled with tuna salad, and N. got a seasonal fruit platter...then for dessert I got a tri-layer chocolate cake (it was AMAZING!!!!!!) and N. got a Key Lime Pie (4 time national winner!!!!!)....so now we are watching the Devil Rays vs. Red Sox on TV and getting ready for bed.

Will write again soon!! Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there!!

Savannah

Well we made it to Savannah, after 8 hours of driving and fun!!!! We got to the Visitor's Center and they did not accept cash for the payment for the overnight parking, we ended up having to find an ATM at a bank, went to 2 other parking garages (all offices closed at 5pm, we got there around 5:10pm)....and then found out that we are not even allowed to park and sleep in the car (with or without the tent attachment). So...long story short we had to find a hotel for tonight and tomorrow, which is MUCH nicer than sleeping in the car and being awoke in the middle of the night by cops telling us we are trespassing!! Hahahaha.

Oh well, tomorrow we are planning on going site seeing down in the River Street district, looking at the mansions and Victorian houses, and going on a Ghost Tour at night. Should be LOTS of fun!! We are really looking forward to it after the day we had today!!

Have a great weekend everyone!! I will check in again soon!!!

3 days to go!!!!!

Well today is Tuesday, last night N. and I went up to the outlet mall to the Bass Shoe store and bought a couple pairs of shoes. N. got a pair of dress and a pair of casual shoes and I got a pair of "boat shoes". Then we went to Carraba's which was good, but a little pricey, I would prefer Olive Garden over that anyday!!!! :P Only 3 days now until we leave for our trip, as per one of my dedicated reader (hi dad!) I will make an effort to post a blog every evening after we get to Florida. Oh well, I'm going to go clean and do things in preparation for the trip!!
