Well I’m back home now here in Boston and am sure glad the sun is shining or this day would be a whole lot harder. 45 degrees has got NOTHIN on 85. And that’s the plain truth.
My trip down to Tampa was so nice. I got beautiful weather the first two days of my trip (it rained quite a bit yesterday, but ya can’t win ’em all), we made some delicious dinners, and I got some really great quality time in with my friend. Being down there makes me miss her more up here. Caroline and I lived in Boston together the first two years out of college, so having her gone is tough, but being able to visit her in sunny FL has got its advantages too of course!
Here’s a little instagr.am picture book of my trip. I got so many great pictures on both my phone and my DSLR. Being obsessed with your iPhone and taking pictures is a good thing for the memories!
Flying with C was definitely the highlight of the trip. What an experience!
We stopped in Boca and took a ride to Delray Beach to have lunch and get some yummy ice cream!
Caroline and Peter took me to some of their favorite food spots, Pete and I hung out at the “hanger” watching Cal practice her pilot moves, and we also did a bit of shopping (a given when we’re together).
I got some sweet new TOMS and plan on sending these pics of me and the flag to the TOMS website. For every pair of shoes bought TOMS donates a pair of shoes to a child in need. Love supporting this cause!
We drank margarita’s and a good amount of red wine. And we made two delicious meals that bring back memories for us both. My mom’s chicken paprika (my FAV) and salmon burgers with sweet potato fries. In memory of our favorite dinner spot in college– PORTS!
Cal and Peter’s dog Penny is ADORABLE!! We became fast friends and she even gave me kisses.
I went kinda crazy with my instar.am in Cal’s house. I loved taking pictures of the little things. Her office is my favorite room, it’s so practical and fun with bookshelves surrounding the whole room.
Thanks for a great trip friend! Love to you always!
you know what… i think the only really good thing about friends not living near you is that you appreciate them that much more and time together is precious and then you take tons and tons and tons of pictures and savor every single moment together.
I think you are SO right!!
What a WONDERFUL post friend. I love all of the pictures and wonderful things you did with good ‘ole CAL! Looks like you had such a great time. Now you need to come out to Cali and visit me! Love you friend.
What a beautiful montage of your time with our special friend Cal. Just love every moment you captured!!
