Part One - Indian Rocks & Gulf Area
| During my last month working for Kool Seal, I enjoyed one more company-paid trip to do some work at their Largo, Florida facility. Anne came along for the ride. We managed to visit some Gulf beaches, have some great seafood, and even spend an evening with Jim and Liz and Caitlin. Thanks for dinner and a good time, you guys! (We'll catch up with you next year, Elise!) | |

Part Two - Mom & Dad's House In Tampa
| It was great to see Mom & Dad again! They took us to a Thai restaurant on Friday and a German restaurant on Saturday. We visited the big Silk Gardens store and then the International Mall. We also spent a lot of time talking, looking at photos, and just catching up on things. | ||

| The Party | ||
| On Saturday afternoon Dad and Mom invited the whole family over to their house for a big get-together. We really enjoyed spending time with Liz, Laura, and Vic and their families. | ||

| Again, sincere thanks to Vic, Renee, Corrynn, Laura, David, Matthew, Liz, and Jim for making the drive and spending the time so we could all be together. It means so much to me. Mom and Dad, thank you for hosting the party again this year and feeding the multitudes! |
| On Sunday morning we sat with Dad at Mass and heard Mom sing in the church choir. Too soon it was time for us to catch our plane back to Ohio. Thank you Mom & Dad for the breakfasts, the evenings you spent sitting around talking with us, the trips around town, and for the awesome restaurants! It was so good to see you again. We love you! |
