ahoy mateys!


ahoy mateys!!
took ian to visit st. augustine
it was pirate-licious!!
much excitement visiting
CASTILLO DE SAN MARCOS
we saw a pirate show on the intercoastal
cannons, sword fights, pirates and all

a moat! a real drawbridge!

i couldnt believe these beautifully ornate
cannons
could shoot a heavy lead ball
3 MILES!!!!



 ian scored a 1500 spanish cob
yeah, shhh
a replica



we lunched at
THE MILL TOP
directly across from the fort
every hour you hear the cannons shoot

ian really really wanted to visit
FLAGLER COLLEGE
gotta love a kid who loves to ck out colleges
here he learned some about
MR FLAGLER
of flagler ave, nsb
he joyfully showed me all the coolest
ya know
the stuff i've photographed over and over
because i love this place too
connecting the dots in his world
"look AMMA, its a scallop shell"
"cooooool"
"and heres another one!!"
he even enjoyed looking at all the historic homes!!
we each picked our favorite
and stated reasons why ours was the best!!
our walking tour ended at the casa monica hotel
feet were tired...um, mine
 
ended day on st. augustine beach
yeah, about 50 times!!!
 

i love this lil guy!!!

grey-green love

my favorite color combo
GREY & GREEN
a mix of modern and freshness
some of my fav products are packaged
in my favorite colors
you too?
 have the grey walls
and
 "splashes" of greens"
dreaming of grey wood flooring
calming, sophisticated and organic

miniatures

 the fam was invited to visit
ENCORE FARMS
a 500 acre  miniature horse farm
and 250 acre private animal rescue preserve
 what cute miniatures!!!
and how lucky these guys are to have such
a beautiful farm to live on
owner elaine loves her babies

 i think we all fell in love with the barn
 jordan loves horses
hopefully we'll get her riding soon
maybe miss elaine would adopt her!!
 after everyone warmed up and calmed down
miss elaine pulled out the hay buckets
and the love-fest began


 elaine names all the miniatures by theme every year
one year country singers
one year wines
one year beatle songs

 small pasture behind barn
then acres and acres of beautifully kept pastures

miniatures
all together loving each other
thanks elaine

Danny Veltri won Season 5 of Hell's Kitchen. He became Sous Chef under Stephen Kalt at Fornelletto at the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Originally, he was supposed to be the Head Chef at another restaurant built at the Casino. When he didn’t become Head Chef, Danny quit and began consulting. He then created a catering company called Back From Hell Catering, poking at his experience in "Hell's Kitchen.” He then joined with a group of investors that wanted to create a surf bar with food. He is now Chef of the Gnarly Surf Bar & Grill near the Intracoastal Waterway in Central Florida.
