The city visit and to see MARLENA!

I went into the city and had dinner with Meg and Vic because Fernando was off that day and couldn't come into the city but we had a good time even though we missed our Fern.  Then I also went back to my old high school to see Marlena (who teaches there and coaches hockey).  I went to a game that she was coaching, and we ate dinner (she was mad at me in the picture so she wouldn't smile), and then we just bonded and caught up at her apartment and then home i went.  It was great to see the campus and teachers but so great to get to see Marlena teaching and coaching and working her professionalism!

Visits to schools begin...

I first went to visit a school for graduate school to get my PsyD (which is a PHD with less research and more clinical work) in Chicago and got to spend the time with Belle and Will and their kitties.  I had a great time catching up with that, and seeing pictures of Belle's brand new nephew.  Then on to Boston where I interviewed and met up with and stayed with Alli and Elizabeth.  Elizabeth and I saw this sunset from her work window.  It was great to get to see friends while visiting schools and they were so kind to house me during these trips.  

HIPPOS!

I couldn't believe we were seeing HIPPOS!  I thought they were the coolest.  They were just walking around on the bottom of the water and the mom was walking while the baby followed.  It was so cool so watch so i took a million pictures and made Jason pose for like 10 of them in front of the tank with the hippos in the back.  

BUSCH GARDENS!

We had so much fun in Busch Gardens seeing all these fun animals and walking around.  The roller coasters there are INSANE and some probably caused me some internal damage but they were fun.  It was a long and warm day but we had a great time exploring the park.  

ARE you reading for some FOOTBALLLLLLLL and some golf?!

We went to Tampa for our new years trip and decided to go to a college bowl game (Jason's dream...even though this was a small bowl game).  So we went to the Outback bowl which was played at the Raymond James Stadium (the stadium for the Tampa Bay Bucs- the NFL team).  It was a great stadium and we had so much fun in the nice weather.  Then a few nights later we hit up some miniature golf and played in a jungle land.
