4th of July

We spent a lazy day at home watching motives with the kids and swimming in the pool. 

And then at the end of the night we drove downtown and parked at the district office. Then we walked two blocks over to Bayfront Park to see the fireworks display!

 

Fourth of July in Miami

I spent the 4th of July in Miami - here working remotely and also writing for my dissertation this week. 

I took myself out for an early dinner to the Biscayne Tavern and Grill a few blocks away and enjoyed a delicious palomilla steak - yum! Then later I took a time out to view the fireworks in downtown Miami from the pool deck on the 8th floor of the Elser where I'm staying. 

All those little dots to the right of the eye are boats on the water waiting for the fireworks! 

 

Date Day and a Mother's Day Concert

Daryl and I went to Connor's for lunch yesterday after massages. The food was fabulous! 

And then on Friday night all five of us went to the Orioles Spring Training facility at Ed Smith Stadium for a Sarasota Orchestra Pops Concert. This was my mother's day present a little bit early. The concert was awesome - Dancing in the Street, the Music of Motown! They brought in three soloists to sing along with all the amazing hits. And there were fireworks afterwards!
