Rally for Mitt…..

As we say in the ‘South’ when we believe in something or someone- We go ‘Whole Hog’

DSC07018Mitt Romney came to ‘Naples’ so in support we attended his rally on 5th Ave…..

DSC07023 Crazy crowd- but my Dad endured!

34 years and counting…

For those of you who know us- our Anniversary rolls around each January and we travel to some dangerous place (Egypt last year) so this year we decided to stay close to home and went to Orlando! The evening of the 13th we spent at the temple enjoying this quiet time together. That night we stayed at the Wyndam Resort.

DSC06982 Sat. the 14th (our actual Anniv.) we went to the Kennedy Space center. The weather ended up being colder than we thought- temp. being as low as 37'

DSC06985We learned alot…

DSC06994  I realized how vast our universe is and how even more I appreciate this planet we live on!

Surfing Statue

We also stopped by Ron Jon Surf shop in Cocoa Beach- we used to live in Orlando from 1985-87 and would travel over 2 hours to get to this beach and then would make a stop at this store. Fun memory for the kids…

Happy 34 years to us :)
