MLK weekend!

After a hellacious Friday at work(whats up with Fridays being so busy, espeically on a three day weekend)....it was quittin time at 4pm, and headed off to Debi's home in St Pete neighborhood of Riviera Bay. She's got a great home on the Bay overlooking Mangroves, so serene. Anyways, we headed off to Johns Pass over in Madeira Beach to see our friend Rob play guitar at The Hut. He is an amazing musician, and the lead of a great group Buffalo Strange. The Hut was fun, great food, and of course Rob playing guitar, flute, percussion for us till 7pm. My brother and sis in law joined us, today is the day she was supposed to deliver...her new baby boy! Instead she's out with us enjoying her root beers. We attempted to catch up with Rob and Buffalo Strange at Ringside Cafe on 4th street in St Pete(great food and bar in an old house), but when we arrived at 9pm, the place was packed, and no tables in site..so we headed back to Debi's to sit on the dock and socialize over some chilly ones...
Saturday was workin on the house and yard..speant the Home Depot Gift Cards, and did some landscaping...then it was back to Ringside Cafe in St. Pete for dinner(there food is AWESOME), and we had great seats to see Buffalo Strange..Rob told Debi and I a few really good stories(the Schizzle?)...
Sunday morning was speant on the kayaks, it was a beautiful day, saw many dolphins today in the Bay..out near Weedon Island and Riviera Bay(northern St. Pete)..then watched some pre=season football. It was an early dinner with the fam at Galley Pizza on Westshore, we ate out on the dock. (The tomotoe sauce here is very sweet, I consider this place "Southern Italian" as in southern american italian-kinda of bland but OK)
MLK day was another beautiful day in paradise, took the bike up to Wilderness Park's Flatwoods area off Bruce B Downs. They opened a few more off road biking trails, a very rough 2 hour ride through woods, scrub, pine barrens, and marsh. There was also a 7 mile paved biking/blading trail through the Park. Afterwards while wating for my brother and sis in law to have their baby, me and the fam went and saw Rocky Balboa at University Mall(not a very nice place)..and the movie sucked. We made it to UCH Womens Center to see my new nephew that was delivered at 9:30pm. The Womens Center at UCH was very nice, very large private rooms, all hardwood floors, state of the art entertainment centers..all in the delivery rooms...
What a GREAT weekend!
