Memorial Weekend

BILLY DEAN'S PIG PICKIN' PARTY is what his sign read when we arrived. This is one of our friends that works at the Rayonier Mill with Weeyum and we ride with him and a few other friends on the bike. Billy is so nice and likes just about everyone. It is nice of him to invite us each year with his family. He had Boston Butt, Beer smoked chicken and Wayne Wright sausages, baked beans, banana pudding, cobbler, mac n cheese, cole slaw, and boiled peanuts. Billy has this cookout every year on Memorial Day weekend for the holiday and his birthday :-). He rents the park that is right on the marsh in Fernandina Beach, FL. Last year Zachary came with us and he brought home about 12 Fiddler Crabs! We had them about 3 weeks and then we set them free...

Weeyum, Billy Dean and Me :-)

Rick and Susie visit GA!

Rickerick and Susie came to our house on May 26, 2009. I was so excited to see them and have them come to my home. We went to eat at Ruby Tuesday’s and then went to my house and swam in the pool and had some drinks. I also sent them home with some Century plants for their yard. They stayed at the Microtel in Kingsland for the night because Susie had to take her shot.
The next morning I was going to go tell them goodbye before they left for Daytona, but decided to pack my swimsuit and go with them for the day. When we got there they had a reservation at the La Quinta Inn. Rick upgraded the room to an Ocean View on the 1st floor! We could see and walk out on the beach from the room. We went and ate at Quizno’s and I had the turkey, bacon guacamole sandwich. Yum. We went back to the room and went swimming in the Ocean and lay in the sun. It was great, like a little mini vacation for me:-). We then went and showered and went to eat at the Oyster Pub. Rick had the dozen raw oysters on a half shell, Susie and I both had the grilled Mahi Mahi and fried Calamari for an appetizer. Susie and I had three Lemon Drops together too and Rick had beer. I then decided I was staying the night with them after that. We went back to the room and made more drinks and we all went walking down the beach before it got dark. Rick showed me the slide show of their trip to the British Virgin Islands. I know exactly were Weeyum and I will be going next! I haven’t seen them or spent time with them in so long. I truly enjoyed our time together. I wanted more pictures but of course my battery went dead in my camera. Susie has some more that I am sure she will love to show!
This morning I got up and came home and they went to visit the Daytona Race track and then headed to their next destination… Of course my poor Weeyum had to work because we will be on our way to Texas in about 2 weeks!

Aquatica in Orlando, FL


We went on this trip about 4 weeks ago. William, Ashley(Zach's sister), Zach and I left at 6:00am to go to Aqautica! I think they wanted me to get the camera out of their faces! :-)
They have a slide that goes underwater with Dolphins swimming around outside of the slide! Pretty Cool...

The dolphins were neat. I am not sure what kind they are...

More dolphins

Getting ready to go change and swim! Sorry, no pics from after we changed and swam all day :-)

Getting ready to leave. The kids had a great time! We will definitely be back again. William and I laid in the lazy river, tanned at the wave pool's, and we rode many rides together. It was great!
