Florida State Highlights

After working up an appetite at the circus (aka:leaving so late we were forced to go straight there and skip lunch) we headed to Momo's Pizza for a late lunch. Momo's claim to fame is "Pizza Slices As Big As Your Head". It's also crazy cheap, and thus a favorite for college students.

We told the girls if they finished their pizza, we'd get them dessert.

They were not victorious....




When we'd finished up, we headed back to the FSU campus to some a few of the "must sees". Namely DOAK & Wescott....the two most famous places at Florida State.

The Wescott Building & infamous Wescott Fountain

It's an FSU tradition to take a swim (usually an against your will swim) in the Wescott fountain on your 21st birthday.  Annabelle wanted to take a dip, but I told her she's still got 13 years before she'll be ready. She settled for rolling up her jeans and taking a stroll around the shallowest part for now.

Heaven was not interested 








Look at her in her rolled up jeans & Tom like shoes looking like a little college hipster already! 

Once we'd explored campus (aka gotten good and hot) we ventured to the mall in search of some FSU duds for the girls & then to see The Life of Pi at the theater. Both were big strike outs. In case you were wondering, Life of Pi is not a  kid movie...even with all the animals.

After dropping off Aunt KK we decided to call it a night and head to our hotel.  The hotel had an Applebees on the bottom floor that allowed you to order "room service" off their menu. The girls thought they were SO COOL (and I'll admit it was a major relief to eat in PJ's). We finished the evening with Milano cookies in bed (as I won't be washing those sheets) and a lil Disney Marathon on the tv.


It took about 20 minutes of tv for the girls to look like this;

Genius.

We still owe Annabelle 2 more AR trips so yesterday I thought I'd escape the "hurricane" madness of Pensacola and cross one off our list. We decided to give Auntie Jenny a visit in her new apartment in Mobile (AU Pharmacy Program...GO JEN!) and let her show us around for a while. We drove around campus for a bit and grabbed lunch at Hero's, which is close to her apartment. It has a very "college" feel to it, and Annabelle felt very "cool" to be out with the ladies. After lunch we headed over to the Explorium to waste away the rest of the afternoon. I love the Explorium, because they change their main exhibits our pretty regularly, so no 2 times are ever the same. Plus, it actually attempts to help the kids LEARN something while they're playing....vs just running around like mad heathens.  Annabelle really liked the kid science area & the "matter" exhibit they have. Especially the soap bubble cloud maker. The poor worker re...

Fish Tale

After feeding and watering the dogs for 6 weeks, Annabelle earned herself a fish today! After much debate at Petsmart, she decided on a pink "dragon scaled" beta & a mermaid themed tank. She has named him Poseidon (we're a bit into Percy Jackson right now...for better or worse) though I personally pushed for King Tritian (I mean HELLO it's a mermaid tank!!). She could not wait to get home and get it all set up. Because we (I) underestimated how big the tank we selected is, we set it up in the girls room...as there is no where else to put it. He has lots, and lots of pink decorations...so hopefully he's not too much of a manly man fish.

Carolers

The girls Brownie troop went Christmas Caroling this weekend at University Pines Retirement Community. They were absolutely precious. Words cannot express the cuteness overload. Several local troops were there and they sang for about half an hour. The girls have been practicing their songs for weeks, and they did spectacularly. The adorable retiree's gave them rave reviews and they were stopped by several people asking them to come back next year.  Could they be any cuter? When we got home, we thought it only seemed fair to get the dogs in the spirit too..... Kingsley the Great Bayleigh the Princess
