And we're back...

Wow, that was a long and busy weekend!!! We had a blast in Tallahassee, I had forgotten how much I truly love that town! As soon as we arrived on Thursday evening, I was in awe of how pretty it is there - very different from South Florida. There are gorgeous canopy roads filled with old trees with moss hanging down... It's green everywhere and the houses are not all squished together... it truly is a great place!!!

Here's a quick re-cap of our weekend highlights:

Friday: We got to hang out with Pat's brother, Philip (the Graduate) and we walked around campus. We also went to the Governor's Square Mall where I found the perfect dress for my cousin's wedding this summer (score)! Friday night we went out with our Tally friends (Lottie and Nathan and Jon and Stacey)... get this to a karoke bar!!! And guess who sang.... no... not me, but Pat! He sang "Sweet Caroline" and he was actually pretty good!!! It was a blast!!!

Saturday: Graduation day! We arrived at the Leon County Civic Center at 8:30 - graduation starts at 9... we got one of the last parking spaces... so we are waiting for everyone to arrive... Pat's family got there about 5 minutes later... then we are waiting.... waiting.... waiting for the graduate.... where is he??? At about 5 till 9 we get a call saying he is on his way... he is running up to meet us at 9:05 am... looking a bit hung-over (if I might add)... needless to say, he made it on time (luckily) and we got crappy seats... but oh well... we got to see Phil graduate and we were all proud of him! Remember how I said we got one of the last parking spots... well, Pat's parents ended up having to park in a lot near campus... After graduation we went to the front of the school (the Wescott fountain) to take pics.... Once we were done, we all headed to lunch... except for Pat's parents... who couldn't find their car.... we looked all over... and yes... it was towed... just another fun highlight to add to our trip (not!)

Sunday: We woke up and had breakfast with Lottie and Nathan and their sweet baby Corbin! After breakfast we all got ready and went to MaClay Gardens State Park for a photoshoot! They are such an adorable family and we had such a GREAT time! After lunch, we had to hit the road for our loooonnnngggg 6 hour car ride home! :(

Overall a GREAT weekend... here's a photo re-cap:
