Saturday morning we headed over to Gasparilla Island. It is truly a beautiful island and here are some pictures from our drive over there
Once we got there we headed over to PJ's Seagrill for lunch. Jack wanted to wear his sunglasses because he saw Steve and I wear them. This was so funny to us because in the past he has wanted NOTHING do with them! But he did look cute sporting his shades :)
Surprisingly there was not a lot of seafood dishes at the restaurant so I was not impressed. But Jack was in heaven because they had a fish tank! Recently he's been ALL about 'ishys' and wakes up asking for them- ha! This was the right place for him.
After lunch we took a ride around the island on a golf cart. The real estate people that rent the condo year round kindly let us borrow it for the afternoon.
We took the golf cart down to the lightouse at the end of the island. It was really pretty! Too chilly to layout, but warm enough for a nice outing.
In the afternoon Steve's old friend and fraternity brother Jason stopped by to visit. He lives close by and it was great we got to spend some time with him, his wife Tera, and their 7 month old Lawson.
Lawson was such a happy baby. We had such a nice time with them, and they even stayed past Lawson's bedtime and left pretty late.
I was very excited when they told us about the UPromise program. Through this program Publix gives 2% back of all purchases towards a college fund for children. Jason said his buddy had already saved up $600 towards his child's education- but he didn't have a baby yet- HA! I think we could save up some money pretty quickly if our parents participate on it too. No better thing than free $ for things we already spend money on anyway.
Sunday morning we went out on the boat fishing. Jack is always quite happy on the boat and loves to take everything in. It is a joy just to watch him! And Steve caught a small fish out there, and worked with Jack so they reeled it in together.
I must say Jack was more excited about the pictures of a fish than the actual fish. He didn't know what to think of it.
I am bummed I didn't get any pictures of my father in law from the weekend. We had a wonderful time and hope to go back there again when the weather warms up!
