Tampa Weekend

For Christmas Kelley, Kate, Ed and I gave Pete and Brenda tickets to see "Jersey Boys" in Tampa. Kelley and I had seen it in New York and loved it so we were excited to go again.

Thursday after Kelley and Brenda got off work the 5 of us piled in the car and headed to Tampa. We arrived about 10:30 and were all tired. It was Caroline's first trip to Kate and Ed's house.

Friday was a relaxing day. Some of us went shopping to get the food for dinner on Saturday and then we all went to lunch.

Not long after we got back from lunch Great Aunt Peggi arrived. She drove in from SC to see everyone and to meet Caroline for the first time.










Thanks for coming Peggi! We all loved seeing you!

Kate, Peggi and Ed got the pleasure of baby-sitting while the rest of us went to the show. (Kate and Ed went the weekend before).
The show was fantastic again and I think everyone enjoyed it.










Saturday started with Kelley and I getting up and taking Caroline to visit Mary Hall and see her new place. Caroline likes going to see MH because she always buys her cute clothes. including this matching outfit.








Where does Caroline end and Mary Hall begin?

The rest of Saturday was dedicated to celebrating Kate's ??rd birthday.

Around 5 Jeff, Vicki, Griffin, Liz, Steve, Peggi, Pete, Brenda, Kelley, Caroline and I had a "wonderful, fantastic, superb" dinner (I was the chef) of grilled ribs, kebabs and shrimp. It was a perfect day to sit outside and enjoy the weather. A good time was had by all and I hope everyone enjoyed the food.







The weather on Sunday was again perfect! We all walked up to the park near Kate and Ed's and took Caroline to the playground for the first time.



Caroline loved the swing as much as the one at home and although she is still to small to enjoy the rest of the equipment by herself she seemed to have a good time.



















Caroline loved Kate and Ed's bed and as always she loves people playing with her and "flying her around"

The drive back was fun. Kelley and I got to sit in the back with Caroline and she enjoyed having people back there with her that she could entertain.

Having missed out on her usual trips to the gym Caroline took the chance to get a quick bike ride in while we were stopped for gas. Thanks Grandpa for letting me borrow the bike!
