Warmer Journeys

After the cold hike up the Franconia Ridge, we were happy to spend the next weekend in warm Tampa! We stayed at Justin and Angela's place on Tampa Bay. It was great, very relaxing.

Even the manatees came out to say 'hi'.


Our main purposes for the visit was to celebrate mom and dad's 40th anniversary. We had a very nice dinner as a family. And after dinner, we were all very excited to see when a cake was brought out.



Mom and Dad were surprised. As was everyone else, since none of us ordered it. Then we saw the writing on the top of the cake.




"Happy Birthday Jimmy Z". Poor Jimmy, I guess he missed his cake.







The following weekend we went to a conference for Katie at Cape Cod. She got a scholarship to present a poster there. Which means I got a free vacation while she worked.

Enjoying the conference center. Just a tad bit chilly. A tad.

The conference was an allergy one, and speaking of allergy, Katie has decided to apply for a fellowship in the field. Today she had her first interview for a start in July 2010, very exciting!
Been a good foliage fall this year. Brilliant colors!
