The day before we left, a good friend of Auntie Sara's, Charlie, took us out on a two hour tour of the St. Marks River. What a treat...we got to see five manatees!!! Thank you, Mr. Charlie!
Munch did very well on the two hour river ride. She wore the life vest the entire time. That's my girl!
While waiting for our breakfast at the Silver Bullet Diner, Munch pretended to take our orders.
Hubs and Vovo Joe Joe fished all day long on Lake Talquin. What a beautiful place!
Munch enjoyed a nice cool Italian soda at the Black Dog Cafe on Lake Ella.
The other 3Ds enjoyed a fabulous southern fried seafood dinner at the Catfish Pad, a local hole-in-the-wall joint.

Well, we just spent a wonderful past week in Tallahassee where my sister and bro-in-law live. We loaded up our mini van rental with everyone and everything except for the kitchen sink. Gi got to spend some quality time with her auntie and uncle doing all sorts of outdoorsie things. And, of course, if the Changs are involved, there was a lot of eating going on too. Big kisses and hugs for Auntie Sara and Uncle Mark for the wonderful townhouse rental and superb hospitality.
On the day of her birthday, Munch started her morning with some fruit loops dipped in cream cheese and some slices of peach.
Before going out for her birthday dinner, Munch received another surprise---this beautiful shirt from her vovos.
Gi grabbed a roll and proceeded to stick her crayon in it to make a birthday cake.
Pizza---Munch's favorite!
