Memorial Day Weekend 2012 - Clear Lake

We had a great Memorial Day weekend at our brother's and sister's cottage on Clear Lake. We spent the weekend with Matt, Christy, Grace, and Glimore. Beth and Jay also came in for the weekend. This was the first Memorial Day weekend we didn't have Mom and Dad come to visit. Although we missed them, we still had a great time spending time with the Cha's and Smith's at the Smith's new cottage on Omena Lake. As you'll see from the pictures below, Gracie was our star attraction. And happy birthday to an old 41 year-old Matty!

Arlington Race Track

Arlington Race Track has been a special place for Bob and I. There is just something about watching the ponies on a warm sunny day, sprawled on a blanket and cheering for number 5. We have spent many-a-Saturday doing this just this getting away from everything for a bit to have some fun. And to be honest, quite inexpensive fun.

Our first date (after our young high school romance) was at the River Downs Racetrack in Cincinnati during the Preakness in 2003 - Funny Cide taking it home. Our five anniversary was special because we flew out to Baltimore to watch the Preakness live at Pimlico Racetrack standing in the infield watching Big Brown come down the stretch. Our visit there was the last year Pimlico allowed crazy, ruckus-filled people into the infield. We had no idea what we got ourselves into but we had a great time full of laughs.

We always make it to Arlington Race Track during the Kentucky Derby with our friends and this year, we went back on Mother's Day with Matt, Christy, Grace, Beth, and Jay. I've included photos from over the years... Enjoy the photos below.

Naples Florida

Bob and I had a very nice trip visiting mom & dad in Naples, FL. We were able to do a little bit of everything while eating seafood galore. We hit the beach and Bob fished off the Naples Pier...landing small pan fish. The dolphins made the fishing a little difficult, but I enjoyed watching them. Mom and dad took us on a water taxi bar hop which was great because we got to see parts of Naples and try the local fare, seafood of course! We went to a local farmers market where we bought some fresh produce, and...seafood, crab claws and shrimp. We also floated in their pool and fished off their local community pier. While Bob caught some different varities of Snappers and a couple catfish, I caught a large sea trout and a stingray. The stingray was an interesting attempt to take off the hook, so we didn't. Bob had to cut the line asking me to make sure it doesn't get him. Yeah Right!
