Mom's Visit & Dana's Birthday

Last weekend my Mom (this is Grant typing) came to visit us from San Antonio. We had a great weekend showing her around our corner of Florida, visiting the beaches, restaurants, and of course our gator friend as introduced in the last post. Mom flew out Monday, but before she left we spent the morning kitten shopping for Dana's birthday while she was hard at work at the VA.

We started the trip with a run back up to John Chestnut Park, which we had pictures from in the last post. We wanted to show my Mom an alligator, and luckily one was there ready for us. He actually hung around longer than last time, and we even got to see him swim away.






A few other critters/plants in the park...





The next day we spent some time down at the beach in Sarasota, then made our way back up to St. Pete for dinner. We ate at Crabby Bills and were able to watch another great sunset on the beach.



On Monday, Mom and I went kitten shopping while Dana was at work. We were able to find a cute little gray one that has been a lot of fun (except for the constant meowing...) Happy Birthday!
