2012

I apologize for not taking a lot of pictures for Christmas this year. I decided to enjoy the moments instead of focusing on recording everything.

Patrick and I took the SpYder out for a ride to springs in the Ocala National Forest. We found a 6' gator sunny himself by the water, and just a few feet from where we were.

We went to Flagler Beach for the first time and stayed at a wonderful bed and breakfast which a few steps across A1A to the beach

Patrick graduated from the University of Central Florida in August 2012 with a degree in Business Administration

In early August, Lydia and I spent a couple days at the Kennedy Space Center which we hadn't been back to in many years. With the end of the Space Shuttle program, the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) is now open for tours for the first time since the end of the Apollo program.

Lydia's birthday dinner was at Sushi Pop

Fr. Jason Adams was ordained a priest at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Savannah, GA on Saturday June 30, 2012. The Principal Celebrant was the Most Rev. Gregory Hartmayer, Bishop of the Diocese of Savannah. Jason was also joined by Most Rev. Kevin Boland, Bishop Emeritus of Savannah and many priests from the diocese.

I surprised Lydia with a weekend in St. Augustine to celebrate the 35th anniversary of our first date, which was dinner and seeing Star Wars for the first time.

Lydia put together a surprise dinner for me at Nagoya Sushi

In Feb 2012, Rebecca and Michael were married at St. Francis of Assisi in San Antonio

For several years now, after the new year we go to St. Augustine to chill out and enjoy the last bits of the Christmas season. This year Mike and Rebecca were with us for dinner one evening and we showed them around the historic district and Bridge of Lions. We stayed at Cedar House Inn and saw Anastasia Park for the first time. Oh, and it was COLD (at least for us)!
