West Coast is the best coast

We're back from Tampa Florida.  Yee friggin haw.

After flying out Thursday night at 5pm PST to LA (to NOT meet my lil bro who's flight from Denver Colorado that was cancelled due to a massive snowstorm), then 4+ hrs to Tampa...6am EST arrival, to Plant City to check in at the hotel, to the funeral at 10am EST to bury my last grandparent to hit the hay at 3pm EST...

It was a loooong, sad trip.

Saturday duching and I got to relax a wee bit.  We headed to Busch Gardens to find that the brewery is no longer in exsistance.  No free beer?  No brewmaster club?  WTF?  $6 a beer?  Whatever.  My parent's hit the beach in Clearwater instead.  We hit Ybor City that night, with duching being the token white boy.  There was a gameworks, so that was fun at least.

Sunday was the South Fl museum with the parents.  World's oldest manatee.  Watched him fart under water.  Wow.

Monday, return flight home via Dallas, TX.  Bought stinky subs to torture the poor saps that sat next to us during the 4hr flight.  That, or pay $6 for cheese and crackers on the flight.

It was $30 round trip per person for 1 check in bag as well.

Friggin airlines.

It was rather humerous watching my mother "discuss" with her bag on the way down which held my grandfather's cremated ashes.  Creeped alot of people out.  I know my grandfather was laughing his ass off in heaven at the whole debaucle.

All said and done.  He's next to my grandmother (RIP 2000).  Duching got to see a lil bit of Florida for the 1st time.  I played alot of Patapon on the psp and my family is alot tighter now.

And now...back to reality.

Wedding in October.  New career hunt and college in the fall.  Possible PS3 in duching's future since he's fallen for Resistance 2 on the PSP.

Love to all, in whatever realm you reside in,

COULOW. out.
