On our last big day out we planned to go to the #1 beach in America, Siesta Key Beach. It’s our #1 also with sand the consistency of powdered sugar. We planned to eat out all day so we started with Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks. I had to grab a picture of the sign because […]
On Thursday we strategized to go to the beach later in the day. We wanted to kids to rest a bit in the morning after just going to a beach the day before. We also wanted less sunburn and less traffic. Our final goal was to watch the sunset on the beach. I started off […]

This is our day after Thanksgiving tradition.
Today, while I went to breakfast with Marcus, Brooke made mini pancakes at home. She was practicing for a baby shower this weekend. I also had pancakes: a bacon, a banana and a blueberry.
We’ve installed new staging from Staging Concepts in room 200. We currently have 6″ legs installed that can raise up to 12″ and also have the option of legs that range from 12″ to 24″. We chose black carpeted tops so we can Velcro down cables. They are a bit heavier than I’d hoped for […]
