Our January to mid February trip was just awesome. We went to some pretty great places. Our first stop was Lance & Caetie's. Oh what fun! Of course it wouldn't be a proper visit if we didn't get in some Wii. Even if it wasn't friday or saturday, which is when they usually turn it on. We must be special. We also were able to sit in on one of Lances lectures. Good job Lance. It is amazing how fast the kids are growing.
Our next stop was Bryce & Amy's.
We ate at this great Japanese restaurant that cooked the meal right in front of you. A must eat place when you go. We also had our teeth cleaned and checked. Which is always a nerve racking experience for me but this was really a good experience and I will be able to do it without gas from now on. Jeff and Dan both had cavities, and Jeff had his filled. Dan will have to wait, only so much time in a day. Bryce's new office is very professional and friendly not to mention the detail to decorations. Very Nice!!! Good Job Bryce. We also went to Chuck E. Cheese which was an experience all its own.
We then went to Panama City. Bryce and the three older kids went with us for an overnight stay that was colder and rainier than Georgia.:( We tried to go on the beach but it was so windy we almost got blown away!
Dan found a lot of entertainment on the beach. One was feeding the seagulls with bread. It was quite scary. We also found lots of sand dollars and other assorted shells. This was the best beach I have been to in years.
Jeff also enjoyed feeding the birds off our railing on the 21st floor
Our next stop was in Ruskin, which is across the bay from Tampa. Bryce said that Panama City is the redneck riviera, but I'd have to say Ruskin is it. The resorts we stayed at were fabulous. Very clean and with everything you need. Ruskin was nicer and had it's own private areas for beach, tennis, etc. Definitely a place we will book again. We went over to Disney for a day of fun and it was the Disney experience. Dan bought this hat at the Rockin' Roller Coaster and thought he looked awesome in it, (he hasn't taken it off since, just kidding). The grandparents also came down to Ruskin for the week with us and hopefully they enjoyed our company, 'cause we enjoyed theres. Too bad we couldn't get them to go to Disney with us, Dan wanted them to go on all the wild rides!
