Florida Trip

We had the chance to take a very mini-vacation last weekend and Chris, Ramin and I all headed to Florida from Friday the 3rd to Monday the 6th. It was short and sweet but I'm really glad we were able to make it out there.

We spent our first day, Saturday, driving down to Tampa area to visit my Grandma. We spent some time with Grandma at her house and getting to know her dog Patty, then we went out to dinner with the usual crowd: Grandma, Patti, Dick and Bill.

After visiting with everyone and going to dinner for a few hours, we headed down to Tampa to the St. Pete Times Forum to watch the Tampa Bay Lightning play the Colorado Avalanche - the Lightning used to be mine and Ramin's favorite team when we first started getting into hockey but then we wanted to root for a more local team and we started getting into the Avalanche. We pretty much watch every game (at least Ramin does :P) and it just so happened that our two teams were playing each other the very weekend we were visiting Florida - we just had to go!

And of course, we stayed at Ramin's parents house during our visit. It was so great being there and I'm sure it was especially good for Ramin being back to his home he lived in for all of his life. Fatie and Steve really enjoyed having us as well - even if it was too short :)

This was Fatie and I with her friend Linda. We had lunch together on Sunday and it was really fun getting to know her - we had a great time!
