Day One Sounds: Yes, The Band, Badfinger, BBS Smells: Fresh baked Subway rolls, Canvas, and cool crisp air! Tastes: Tuna, Habanero Margarita. As I sat around the fire with the old BassMaster during on

Hey you, birthday boy...lets get back to business here!

Hey Aaron...that's not fair! If yer gonna smoke a guy out, at least do it nicely .

I like the kiddos better myself, but mostly because I don't do the rivalry thing. I drive my husband nuts when I'll say good job about the wrong team. I cheer them both on. Can you get any wishy washier than that?

First of all, yes TCD found the key! MH9 will get me everytime.

The kids in camo works too!

The Gator shot...only #15.

Wow, Wide Right...really? That's cruel.

I'm working on the latest updates. Trying to get photos from BM, his wife, and daughter.

He's roughly the equivalent of trying to get something from the DMV.

Tell BM that he should be able to find those photos in his fanny pack. Where he keeps all his things. :rofl2:

Or getting reservations at the Fort during December?

If they're not there he can check his 'stache. God only knows what's buried in there!

Day Two

Sounds: Marshall Tucker Band, James Gang, Mumford and Sons, Punch Bros.

Smells: Candles and Grilling!

Tastes: 9.

Rise and shine!

It’s Sunday morning!

As per usual, I was up with the dawn patrol.

No one else even budged as I awoke and prepared for the day.

One thing I needed to take care of, was a trip to Publix, the brand new one.

As I was grabbing my keys, my son opened his eyes and said he wanted to go with me.

So off we went to grab some donuts, milk, ice, and some fruit.

On the way there I noticed you can see the 4 Sleezin’s creeping up out of the trees.

On the way back, I wanted to grab a shot.

This is the view from the other side, as opposed to the view you see from the Fort.

You can also see a bit of it here, between the red car and the tall tree.

In case you’re playing detective, that second shot was taken after we returned to the Fort and headed out for our Sunday morning activities.

Today, we would be attending church at Mary Queen of the Universe Basilica.

We saw the blimp fly over head, and I thought…

“Cool, the big showdown between God and the devil, this church knows how to compete with the other big entertainment centers in the neighborhood. I wonder if it will be in ESPN?”

Then I realized there was a big college football bowl game across town.

Mr. ofBears was in attendance at the game.

It was refreshing to see the place packed, considering it was filled with people that are taking time out of the parks and vacation to exercise some faith!

How irreverent am I taking pictures in church?

They had a whole room set up with the nativity.

MW and the kids. Check out the ducks over Annie’s shoulder!

BM and the fam were there too!

After mass, we headed to a big Wal-Mart along I-4 to get some provisions, gloves, beef jerky, and some more beer.

Whilst I was trying to navigate, my son picked up the phone, thinking he was playing birds or ninja, he was testing out his photog skills!

Here’s a sample of his work…

He’s gotten really into pickup trucks now, and is especially interested in duallies!

Back at the site, it was Sunday brunch time!

After cleanup, BM shows up, we got our carts, and it was time to do a little looping and exploration!

What a good Catholic boy you are! Metal Mom raised you right. That looks like a nice church, might have to see about visiting it myself on a future visit.

With some of the things I see happening at mass nowadays, taking photos is pretty far down on the irreverent list, if you ask me.

Love the kid-cam shots……I can almost hear the giggles.

4 Sleazins…….good one…..also might make a good band name!

We also saw the blimp that day, from the marina.
