Happy Father's Day to all of the fathers I know and love!

What an awesome dad you are, George. I hope your day is everything you deserve.

  



Also, Happy Father's Day to my Dad, Bruce Gilbert. You taught me to enjoy watching windshield wipers in the rain, to enjoy nature and animals and old cars, and to laugh a lot. I love you, Dad.







Happy Father's Day to my grandfather, Charlie Ray Gilbert, who taught me how to churn ice cream, nail shingles on a roof, mix cement, and sing old gospel tunes. He was quiet and strong, and I miss my childhood summers with him.



And finally, Happy Father's Day to my other Grandpa, James Cantrill. Memories of him mainly include days boating on the lake, trips to the Amish market and flea markets, fishing for crawdads and channel cats, and hanging on the porch listening to him tell jokes. He was a larger than life cop called "Red" and was well loved by me, his Dawn Michelle.

Father's Day 2017

After a great church service, we celebrated Father's Day with and awesome brunch at the Champions Club. Happy Father's Day George and Dad! It is a beautiful day in Tallahassee.









"A bit of Father's Day inspiration for George and the kids (part one)" turned into a real life battle. So much fun.

   

  

Fathers Day Car Show, an annual tradition

The annual Father's Day Car Show at Celebration was again a success. And as tradition goes, we took pics with our favorite cars from the show. Also, I am so proud of Megan and Danny who both volunteered at the food stand this year. Happy Father's Day, George!

Summer Vacation 2017!

First day of summer vacation started off right with a great breakfast at the new Maple Street Biscuit Co. in Killearn.



And then...







The next morning, I woke up and sneaked away to eat some breakfast and get some reading in on the Boardwalk. It was a peaceful and beautiful morning.

 









We hung out at the hotel and enjoyed the pool all morning. We even had a guest at lunch by the pool. This was taken right before she stole the entire tray of fries from George!



A special treat! Afternoon tea at the Gardenview Tea Room at the Grand Floridian Resort. Like a warm hug to get us through the rest of the day.




We also visited the new Pandora section of Animal Kingdom. The luminescent paint was gorgeous, and nighttime proved to be awesome in that section of the park.



The last day, we hung out in Epcot and got some cool pics in France.



George and I also had a "date" tour of the Living with the Land hydroponic gardens. So cool.
