Weekend Getaway - Tampa (Day 2)

The best part about the trip is neither the scenery we saw nor the activities we did, but the chance to live together with a loving American family:

Waking up by the aromatic smell of breakfast;

Chit-chatting over the kitchen bar (I really admire Nikole's mom's bold decision of returning to the campus after having kids and working hard for a passionate cause. An attorney-to-be!) ;

Flipping through high school yearbook on the bed;

Losing count of the countless decorations and collectives in the room; 

Swimming at the backyard (we didn't do that actually, but the pool looks awesome!);

Teasing the little cute one in the house;

Watching movie and playing games on the 65-inch TV;

Getting an adrenaline pump at the ice-skating rink, 

Preparing for an unglamorous fall that could take place any moment;

Shopping at a local mall which has a merry-go-round, and Auntie Anne (and Victoria Secrets);

Going crazy in the bankrupted Borders;

And coming back home with a heavy load, a light heart;

...and a big smile :D
