We left early Friday morning. Swept into Fayetteville to grab the new daughter-in-law, Kim. Thus began the journey to Gainesville. It was a long uneventful drive, as usual. We got into to town about 6:30 and met Brian at his friend, Gianfranco's house. Gianfranco graciously gave us his beautiful home to use for the evening. My daughter and her family, with my Mom, drove up from Bradenton to join us. Brian prepared a lovely dinner for us. We drank some wine. We played some guitar and bongos (sorry neighbors) into the wee hours.
The next morning we all got up and got ready for the "GRADUATION". And headed over to the "O" dome with our colors flying! It went as most graduations do, long and boring on uncomfortable seats.
After the graduation, we headed out for lunch to the Falafel King. (Really, I didn't make this up!) For some mediteranian fast food. ( falafels of course). Then off to Tampa to pick up Vickie, a good family friend and on to Bradenton to Crystal's house for the "PARTY"!
Needless to say, on Sunday, we did not get an early start home. We rolled in about 3:30 am Monday morning.... I really wish someone would remind me that I am tooooo old for these quick trips to Florida! Anyway, my friends, I hope you enjoy the photos!
