OUMIKE http://mikeblog.sumat.org getting stuck in a tube Thu, 08 Jul 2010 02:43:34 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Sunday and Monday… http://mikeblog.sumat.org/?p=50 http://mikeblog.sumat.org/?p=50#comments Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:14:43 +0000 mike http://mikeblog.sumat.org/?p=50 The plan was.to arrive home Sunday evening and spend the evening relaxing with our slowly expanding kitties…however our flight was delayed. After making repeated trips we were able to claim our free round trip tickets, our itinerary for today as well as upgraded seats to business class. So now its a matter of waiting. It’s been a terrific vacation however as Gramps was a very fine host and Florida has been pleasant to stay in.

Yummy grouper. Before our tasty lunch we spent around an hour at the aquarium over here. Watching the locals feed the nurse sharks, enormous grouper (no relation to lunch) and various other local caught fish. Yummy!

Then after a great afternoon at the sponge docks we headed to Howard park. Spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing on the beach watching restive children and standing in freezing water. It was awesome!

Finally we met up with grandpa’s friend Sue (who had made us delicious cookies earlier) and had ice cream near Hudson park. Excellent day.

This morning had a late lunch at the local ihop. Spent the early afternoon at the flea market nearby. Tina bought super neato sunglasses! After that we napped then headed to Leo and Joe’s for dinner. Tina and I then decided to explore Florida a bit. Took a long drive northbound on 19. After passing up Weeki Wachee we decided to head back only stopping at our new favorite Florida bar…the pickled parrot. Tina had a Killian and I a corona wanna be (land shark). We hung out and watched the locals for a bit then headed back to gramps condo. Good day. :D

Both of us tired from the flight. Found an adhesive to glue back in my temporary cap which fell out Thursday morning. Hopefully won’t swallow it tonight.

No line at check-in and no line are security. Minor delay there, Tina’s hip caught various scanners. Her hip, of course, is a known felon. No worries as they waved us through. :D

Spent the morning packing and getting ready to leave. Looking for some blank CDs to burn some music for gramps. Gonna head to best buy later to buy him some ram, will pick up CDs there. Walked down 52 and ended up at a sports bar for lunch. Listening to a john madden sound-a-like describe his interactions with a traffic cop to two nodding friends. It’s been a good trip. Leaving at 5 to make my flight at 7pm.

I got to drive down the perilous 19 earlier on the way back to gramps from the mall. We stopped there for an early dinner after spending time at Fred Howard park. Despite the beach being closed we were still able to find a pocket of sand next to the water to wade in. It was peaceful and windy. It was great. Heading out in a bit I see Gran Torino. Cheers!
