Home.....

Well....home was literally 2 days...then off towards my sister's wedding in the Boracay....how exciting.....but we not there quite yet....so on Monday morning we took the Harley for a ride....so cool...tons of fun....my hair was blowing in the wind....i had such a good time....and yes...Tuesday allowed for some more driving...let me share a pic....

 
 

And then one night we went to see the show currently showing at Montecasino, Jersey Boys....my expectations were quite high cause i heard it has just been extended, also reviews were very good and i read that they are signing songs like "Big girls dont cry", ........ Etc.....before the show we went to the Ialian restaurant called La Scala. Let me tell you a little about it, the owner opened it in 2002, when Montecasino was first opened, and to this day he still is present at the restaurant, i find that so amazing and honestly it makes a big difference. He still knows my parents and at the end of the meal we were all allowed to choose either a Grappa or a Limoncello on the house (i went with Grappa), small things like that i really appreciate. The food as always fab....the main reason for not going there more often is that it is inside Montecasino, a casino atmosphere and honestly, not my best....pity....so what did i have....i had the Carprese salad and then the ostrich carpaccio, one of the specials....Kim decided on Greek salad (hmmm....not sure why...we are at an Italian restaurant...but anyway) and then the seafood soup.....we all loved the food...also pasta which my dad had tasted great...so yes...definitely a place worth checking out...and of course ill share some pics...

Let me also give you the link to the La Scala restaurant.....

Now to the show...it lasted 2.5 hrs (with interval) and i was disappointed, i expected more, it was not bad, but definitely not WOW...not like Phantom of the Opera....a fun night out.....but.....a little disappointed...a lot of unknown songs and i cant put my finger on it...just not WOW. If you wanna check it out though you can book at computicket....

Another cruise in Western Caribbean

This is the second week....we started the journey in Tampa and this Tampa we decided to take Sofia to the aquarium...I was quite interested to see whether she would be fascinated with the fishes or not....and she was....certain ones...certain ones not too much....but she definitely enjoyed going there. The aquarium had 8 sections: Wetlands Trail, Journey to Madagascar, Bays & Beaches, No Bone Zone, Coral Reefs, Dragons Down Under, Ocean Commotion and Splash Pad. We visited all except for the Splash Pad (that is outside for the kids to play and it was closed at the moment). It was nice also because there were areas where you could touch the sting rays...I enjoyed that, Sofia did not want to touch them, and nor did Kim. Sofia Enjoying the Aquarium Sofia Enjoying the Aquarium  Sofia in the Playground at the Aquarium Kim Enjoying the Aquarium The following day was VIP and unfortunately Sofia and I did not make it as Sofia was just way too tired....but that'

Sofia in the Jeep Kim and the Jeep Cherokee Friday night we had some Sushi take-aways because Sofia was jet lagged, and so were we, so we did not make it to a restaurant with her.  Saturday there was also quite a few admin things to get done...but it was a rainy day....it rained almost the whole day...so we got a bit wet, but it is warm rain......so never mind. We started off by driving past our new home (could not go inside as the current owners were packing up) and then we made our way to McKinney where we have a friend who has been so kind to receive and store all of our post,
