Florida was wonderful. I had a great time, got to get to know my grandmom's new husband Jim better, and got to relax. Perfect vacation.
Got up bright and early Saturday morning...4:30am...to go on a hot airballoon ride. That was so nice. It was very peaceful, and not at all scary. I greatly enjoyed it and highly recommend one if you ever get the opportuniy. Sunday morning I lazed around the pool while Grammie and Jim golfed. Gotta love old folks communities...there's a girl walking around the pool getting you drinks. What a life. So I swam about one lap b/c i was feeling lazy and partially to cool off, then laid on the deck and read for about 2 hours, then Grammie and I did some shopping in the afternoon.
Monday morning we went to the largest Greek community in America. That made me really happy...and miss Greece a lot. (my roomie is there right now so I'm living vicariously through her) but I had a cheese pie, one of the foods I most miss. We also went on a nature cruise into the Gulf of Mexico looking for dolphins and manatees. Didn't see any manatees, but we had dolphins following us and playing in the wake of the boat a good portion of the trip. It was incredible. They are so beautiful and playful. We even saw a baby and its mother. So cute! I managed to get one ok picture, but it was really difficult b/c you never know when they're going to jump out of the water, and my camera is kind of slow.
but here are the pictures from the balloon ride and of the dolphins.
