Christmas 2010 Family Visit to St. Petersburg - Day 2

Our visit has been very relaxed.  We've been taking things slowly, and as the mood strikes us.  No big agenda other than to enjoy each other's company, have fun, and create new memories.


Night one:  I slept on the couch, Adele slept on a twin size inflatable mattress in the living room in front of the tree; Mia and Gina slept on the bed in the bedroom, and Joe and Joy slept on the queen size inflatable mattress in the kitchen.  We moved the table and chairs to the other end of the kitchen near the windows, and voila! a third bedroom with eat-in privileges! 

A family favorite:  corn flake wreath. The secret is in the buttah!

We spent a lot of the day just relaxing and hanging around the apartment.  Later, we took a drive downtown to the new Dali Museum, [scheduled to open on 1/11/11] and Demens Landing.  Mia enjoying the walk on the knee wall.

The Mahaffey Theater, located across the plaza from the Dali.

Well, hello Dali girls!

Nice angle.

Across the street from the Dali. Proud parents to be!

A favorite picture spot!  The Gabriel Sisters!

And one with Dad and his girls!

Fun in the park!

From there, we went to Alfresco's at the Vinoy for dinner.  Another yummy meal!

The main ballroom at the Vinoy; the Chihuly chandelier.  Kind of looks like the head of Medusa.  A bit weird, in my opinion.

On the way back to the apartment, we stopped to visit Pete and Joe.  Only Adele had met them prior to this visit, when she was here around Halloween.
It's nice when family meets family!


Wayne came over after we got home, bearing gifts of a yule log and apple butter!  More yums!

Starting to vibrate even before eating some!

Now, it's time for bed!  OK, now where are we sleeping tonight???
