A Day @ the Beach

Randy & I both took today off of work so that we could take Lucca to the beach for the first time! All I can say is that he absolutely LOVED it!! Everything about it, from the water, to the breeze to the sand and seagulls.. he had a BLAST! By the time we left the beach he was so tuckered out he slept the whole way home and basically slept through dinner lol.. I can't wait to take him back! Here are some pics from our fun-filled day!

Anniversary Vacay 2010

Randy & I just got back from our 3rd anniversary vacation. We had an absolute blast and of course it went by all too quick! Friday afternoon we went to TPC Sawgrass, which was SOOOOO fun! We got to see some of my favorite players, one of which being PHIL MICKELSON...who is absolutely handsome in person. lol We got sooo close to some of the players we could have reached out and touched them. It was unbelievable! Def can't wait to go again next year...

Saturday morning, we were about to leave for ST PETE BEACH when we realized that someone had stolen my GPS out of my glove compartment..yay, what a way to start a vacation right?! lol So we had to borrow my brothers...we finally made is down to ST PETE, and we stopped by the Salvador Dali Museum down there.. If you have never heard of him, he was a famous artist, who made very strange art...Unfortunately they would not allow me to bring my camera inside so I took a few pics of the outside...

The outside of the building..

A bench outside...

Clock on the bench..this clock is one of the most used items in Dali's paintings

Putting our Dali stickers on the railing outside the museum

There were over hundreds of Dali stickers on this railing!

After the Dali Museum we decided to go by a botanical garden that was nearby...It was pretty neat..lots of different unique looking plants and flowers..

After we left the garden we FINALLY got to our hotel ON THE BEACH =) It was so nice to be RIGHT there where we could walk out onto the beach.. The first night we got to watch the sun set..a first for us both, and watched it go ALL the way down...

Me sitting with a random pirate on the boardwalk.. =)

Beautiful Sunset...

Going...

..going...

Sunday we relaxed on the beach ALL day..Randy fished for a little while, and I literally sat on the beach and relaxed..it was soooooo nice to relax! lol I got to finish a book that a friend let me borrow MONTHS ago too.. lol I also got to people watch.. I love to do that.. I can honestly say there are some INTERESTING looking people on St Pete Beach! lol...

This bird kept trying to eat everyone's catch! he would patiently wait, then stalk them down haha

Beautiful day at the beach!

Then today we had to come back to reality =( But I did miss my lil booger! He stayed with my parents for the weekend.. It is definitely nice to be back home in OUR own house with our little family =) Hope you enjoyed the pics from our vacation!

Off to Paradise!

Wednesday May 5th was mine and Randy's 3rd wedding anniversary...to celebrate we are going out of town this weekend to a beachfront resort in St Pete Beach,FL. But before we head down there....my anniversary gift to Randy was tickets to TPC Sawgrass! He has been wanting to go every year since we have been together and this year I was able to snag him some tickets, thanks to one of the Ortho Docs I work with at Shands..thank you Dr. Suk!

As hard as it is for me to thoroughly enjoy playing golf... I do actually enjoy watching it.. so I am pretty excited about going...MAINLY because I am hoping to see my favorite player, PHIL MICKLESON, play! And of course I want him to win..duh! lol

Then Early Saturday morning we are headed for relaxation on the beaches! I am in such need of a relaxing vacation..! Away from work, and all the stress that comes along with it.. While we are down there we are also going to try to go to the Salvador Dali art museum and the aquarium..Hopefully the weather is nice the whole time, and HOPEFULLY the weekend DRAGS by! Hope you all have a nice weekend..I know we will!!!!

BTW..Happy 3rd Anniversary to my Hubster!!
