My mom and dad came for a visit at the end of September/beginning of October. They spent the first part of the week lounging by the pool on Vero Beach and texting me pictures of the amazing seafood they ate each night. Mom and I had been wanting to check out the Chihuly Exhibit in St. Pete for quite some time and finally got the opportunity.
Visitors to the Chihuly collection aren't allowed to take pictures inside, but the statue outside was pretty cool. We walked through the exhibit a couple of times and noticed something different each time. Most of the glass was set upon a black mirror-like platform and when you looked down you could see the glass reflected which made it look almost like you were underwater.
We dined at Mar Vista on Longboat Key one night. My parents have a friend who told them about this restaurant...it is a hidden gem. We've gone twice-totally worth the drive!
The following weekend we drove back down to Anna Maria Island to visit with our friends Cory and Tanya and their little boys, Tucker and Finn. The Sides family moved to NC last fall, and we have missed them!
We all got to watch a beautiful sunset...I just love living near the beach!
When we got back to their condo, we sang Happy Birthday and watched Tanya blow out her candles on her cake. (I think Tucker looks like he is about to sneeze on the cake in this picture.)
