Garcia Comes to town

Jason Garcia and Joe Fisher came into town during the same weekend. Some might call it the convergence of 2 large storms (The Perfect Storm), but we all had a wonderful time.

Jason stayed with us during the weekend and Anna really took to him. Of course, 2 hams are usually drawn to each other.

Here are some pics of our evening out at Channelside.

Weeki Wachee Springs

Jen was away for the weekend at Michelle's baby shower, so we decided to venture up the road 40 miles to Weeki Wachee Springs to see the Mermaids. We had a great time on a steamy summer day. The river cruise, the mermaids and swimming in the cold springs was very nice.

Sunday Drive to Wilderness Lake Preserve

Well, we took a Sunday drive to check out all the new neighborhoods up North in Pasco County. We went on a wild goose chase trying to find Connerton and finally found it just 10 minutes away from home ! While we were looking we found WLP which we always wanted to check out. Here are some pics from the neat Lodge and Lake. The kids LOVED the neat tree-fort playground and the fish that they got to feed. Overall, we thought the lodge was amazing. They had a spa, a nature learning center, boats you could check out, a swimming deck, a great pool, etc. But, the homes were just OK. Nothing really made us feel that the homesites were any different than anywhere else. I wish they had forced the builders to all build in the NorthWest lodge or cottage style of home. There is nothing stranger than seeing a great lodge and then a Florida style stucco house with palm trees - UGGH.

Our Anniversary

8 years ! Can you believe it? Well, Jen surprised me this time and made reservations at Armani's, the same place that I proposed to her. In fact, this picture is taken at the very table I said those words. Well, 8 years later and our lives have changed quite a bit, but we still are in love just like the day we met. I love you Jennifer !
