I'm writing from Largo, FL in the home of my mother in law on the 4th day of our 8 day time off. On Tuesday morning we left Purvis and drove the 5 hours to Tallahassee. We spent time with the Sheffield family and finally got to meet their precious 5 month old daughter, Laurel Grace. We stayed the night there and continued the remaining 4 hours to Pinellas County Wednesday afternoon.
My parents are vacationing from Ohio in the area so we met up with them for dinner at Sonny's BBQ. I think I need to start a petition for a Sonny's in Hattiesburg but, then again, maybe it's best I don't. We stopped by First Baptist to say Hello before church started and then went to visit with Michael's Mom while she was on a break from work.
Thursday morning we went with my folks to a Historic Walking Tour of Ybor City. We were early so we grabbed some coffee/soda/water and a Cuban sandwich to split at King Corona. Delicious! The walking tour was great and I would highly recommend it (http://www.yborwalkingtours.com/). Afterwards we grabbed lunch- another Cuban sandwich- at Gaspar's Grotto. We walked around the wonderful store that is Ikea for a bit before heading over to visit with my step-brother and his family in Apollo Beach. We went back to dinner in Ybor- this time getting Greek instead of Cuban.
This morning my parents, Mike's parents, and us met up for brunch at Cracker Barrell. Mom, Norm, and I went shopping in the afternoon while Mike visited family with his parents. Came back home and pizza was ordered for dinner and I am now wearing elastic pants. Such good food over the past 2 days- just too much of it!
Tomorrow morning we are heading to breakfast with Mike's Dad and his wife but no food plans for the rest of the day (though we've already determined we're headed to BJ's for Sunday lunch).
I know everyone has been there- the days where it feels like you have done nothing but eat. I am really enjoying being in FL and seeing everyone. I just hope I'm not having to wear sweatpants all the time when we get back to MS.
