Girls Trip to Florida!: October 14-18, 2008

Mom, Kristina and I went to Florida a couple of weeks ago to stay with Grandma and Hugo. It was 4 glorious sun-filled days. Here is a sampling of photos from the trip, although most of the shots were taken with my mom's camera, as it is vastly superior to mine (so you'll just have to believe me that there was a GIANT HUGE REALLY REALLY BIG pool-side spider. Massive. Gigantic. Man-eating.).

At the airport. I really wish we would've gotten a photo of all of our luggage (Kristina's massive red giant actually tried to eat my puny little carry-on)

Businesswoman next to me was anti-sunlight. And unfortunately, this trip was pre-brow wax for me.

Kristina doing scratch-offs as a way to help calm her during the flight. Quote: "I've got to pick up some scratch-offs so I don't have to take a Xanax." She did really well and needed neither lotto nor meds on the way back!

If you click on this photo to biggify it, you'll see our first alligator sighting. This was IN my grandma's Lake Ashton community.

Lake Ashton was beautiful - everything was so gorgeous.

They had a bowling alley and a theater...
... and some houses even had RV parking!
Mean bird, beautiful scenery.
We spent a LOT of time at the pool. :)
Kristina, Mom and Grandma!
For dinner one night, we had a surprise trip to Cherry Pocket. Which, as you might be able to tell from the photo, looks like it should be condemned. It was hilarious.

But they had really good friend green tomatoes.

Dinner another night was with my Aunt Pam and Uncle Eddie at a rib joint.

Pam and Eddie!

My "chardonnay." Probably shouldn't order wine at a rib joint.

Our last night. We left at 4am eastern. Which is pretty darn early.

Thanks to Grandma and Hugo for their hospitality. We had such a blast - and it was so special that the three Randall girls got to travel together.
