OK, the title of this particular blog entry is a little misleading. However, it has been raining quite a bit. It kind of reminds me of the NW, except when it rains here, it's like 65 degrees outside. The rain is good, because FLA is still trying to recover from drought-like conditions over the last couple of years.
Since the last entry was back in January, I should probably give a brief recap of what we have been up to over the last month:
1) We went to Tampa/St. Petersburg over one weekend. That was a lot of fun. We visited the Dali museum (largest in the US) and the Pier in St. Pete. We had dinner at a GREAT tapas restaurant. KC still talks about the shrimp ceviche. We also visited Honeymoon island, which is just north of Tampa. We wanted to at least take a look at the water on the Gulf side of the state. We did a bit of shelling on Honeymoon island, before we ended up heading back home.
2) Due to health concerns, KC had left her position at the pre-school in early February. She is feeling a lot stronger now, so it was definitely the correct decision. She can now concentrate solely on school. She is really enjoying her classes, and feels like she is learning a lot this term. And yes, she is applying what she learned already. I wouldn't say that I am a guinea pig or anything, but....
3) A Dim Sum place has just opened up in JAX. This was HUGE news for us. We have eaten there several times now. The chef is from HK, so the quality of food is quite good. We also managed to find a really good Korean BBQ place down in JAX as well.
4) We have been working on home improvement projects. We painted the master bedroom, and have installed some new lights in our dining room and entry-way. I'm not going to tell you any details, out of the hope that some of you reading this might feel intrigued, and feel obligated to come and visit us!
5) KC is visiting a friend this weekend, down in San Antonio. Based on an e-mail that she had read to me, her friend plans on taking her to see the Alamo, the Riverwalk, and some sort of caverns. When she gets back, I promise to pester her to blog about the trip.
