Mom came to visit me in Tampa this past MLK weekend and we had such a blast. When she arrived I took her to the house to rest up and then we immediately drove to Miami to visit ate Ochie and her husband Steven. We spent Thursday and Friday morning with the both of them and got to see their cute little condo. Ate Ochie is starting to show and is about 6 months in to her pregnancy. She's glowing so much right now. Friday morning we then took ate Ochie and drove north to Titusville where we met up with ate Monica and family. We were surprised at how much the kids have grown. Ate Monica took us shopping and then took us all out to dinner for my Mom's birthday. On Sunday we made a quick stop at kuya Raymond's place and chatted with the family for a bit. I haven't seen kuya Raymond and family in so long, it was so nice to catch up on things. They have such a beautiful family. Afterwards, mom and I drove back to Tampa and realized that it's only about 2 hours away. So more visits to come I hope. In Tampa I showed mom my new 'hood'. We ate lunch at Channelside (the tampa bay port) where a lot of the cruise ships leave from. I also showed my mom where I work at on Macdill AFB but had to blind-fold her so she couldn't remember how we got there (j/k). We were able to shop at the Commissary and Exchange and ended up buying tons of stuff. That evening mom cooked some amazing food for Tom (my roommate), his girlfriend Kim, and myself. It was sooo delicious. Thanks Mom! Anyway, hope you guys enjoy this album. Happy Birthday Mom! -Danny
