Visiting Snowbirds

Robbie and I made a quick trip to St. Pete this past weekend because I had family come down from Ohio and Indiana. My second cousin, Pam, was on spring break and she came down with her parents. They love the beach and it was an even better trip for them since it was in the 30s and snowing back home!

Robbie and I drove down Friday afternoon. I was lucky that Robbie slept the whole way down (and back Sunday). We hit stop and go traffic in Orlando for no good reason and in Tampa. I hate that Orlando has electronic speed limit signs. I would love for someone to explain to me why 4 lanes of interstate traffic needs to have a 40 mph speed limit. I think that's why there was so much traffic because there wasn't an accident or construction. Anyway, I was at my parents for a little while and Mom and I had just put dinner in the oven when Barbara and Jack stopped by for a quick visit. They already ate so didn't stay for dinner. Mom and I made spinach manicotti and it was good!

Hanging out with Abuelo:



I decided to get out of bed around 9 Saturday morning. I figured I shouldn't sleep my visit away! We had breakfast and then headed out to the beach to see Pam, Jack and Joanne. Pam and I took Robbie into the pool. I think it was a little cold for Robbie, but he loved taking a nap with Pam. Robbie loves being with people and is ok with being passed around. We stayed through lunch and then we needed to head home so mom could get dinner ready.

Jonathan, Chat and the kids came over for dinner. Mia was so cute. She said "Robbie likes me because I'm a brown girl."

I had to get up earlier Sunday morning because I wanted to take one of Jill's spin classes. The only one I could do was 90 minutes long. Crazy, but it didn't seem that long. Jill did a good job getting my bike set up and it was one of the more comfortable spin bikes I've used. I had two goals for the class: make it through without dying and not be another mark on the puke counter. I'm happy to say I did both.

Grandma came over for lunch. She loved getting to see Robbie again. Robbie was all smiles. He liked Grandma's diamond ring and she said that he could have it if he got it off. I was going to go over and help!!

We left around lunch time and headed home. Matt's mom came up to spend a few days of her spring break with us. She plays with Robbie all day and left around lunch time yesterday.
