Florida part 2: Saturday and Sunday

Saturday was the wedding and since the weather wasn't the warmest and my dress wasn't meant for cold weather, we decided to go to the mall to find something to wear over it. Rob's mom suggested that he invite his brother along. Rob really didn't want to but I told him that he should. They weren't exactly friendly to each other the other night and I thought that they should spend a little more time together. They were much nicer to each other and we all had a good time. I got a shrug to wear and then we walked around a little more before getting lunch at the food court. After all the salty food I really wanted something to drink that was not soda or water so Rob suggested that we go to the Smoothie King. It is a health smoothie place that will put all sorts of stuff in the smooties. We split a big one that was strawberry, kiwi, and mango with protein powder in it. It was really good. After stopping to get that we went to Lake park to walk around. Here is a picture.

Once we left there, we drove by Rob's high school and through an apartment complex that we would live at if we moved down there. Then it was time to go home and get ready for the wedding. Here is a picture of Rob and I before we left. Unfortunately, we forgot to bring a camera with although we probably would not have taken any pictures since Rob only knew the Groom.

The wedding was nice. The ceremony was all in Spanish but we were happy to find out later that we were not the only ones there who did not speak Spanish. At the reception we were sitting at a table with a few of the groom's other friends but no one knew each other. When dinner was served, one of the couples at our table was, in my opinion, a little rude. They turned their noses up at the food and didn't really eat any of it. Then the girl pulled out a bag of cookies from her purse and started eating those. Sure the food wasn't what we were used to or even something I would make for myself but at least I ate it or at least as much as I had room for (the smoothie still had me full). The whole time I just kept thinking about how I would feel if it had been my wedding and I had just paid for all of these people's dinners and people were just throwing the food away. Anyway.

Sunday was Valentine's day and Rob and I had planned to spend the morning together and then the afternoon with Danielle. After breakfast with his mom and stepdad we went to Lettuce Lake Park to walk around. Here are a few pictures.

As you can see here, Rob was a lot more daring than me and climbed higher in the tree. I was just sitting on one of the branches low to the ground.

I really like the reflection on the water here.

Just a picture of one of these cool stalagmite tree looking things.

This bird was working for a long time to get at whatever was inside of that thing. He really didn't care that there was a group of people standing there looking at him and taking pictures.

After we left there, we called Danielle to see if she was ready. She wasn't so we went to get lunch and then went to the Tampa Flea Market to kill some time. It was disgusting there. There were two dirty diapers in the parking lot including one that we ran over. Yuck! As we were walking out Danielle called and said she was ready so we went to her house to figure out what we were going to do. We decided to see a movie. We hung out and talked for a while since the movie didn't start for another two hours. After the movie we went back to her house and hung out some more. At 8 we went to meet a friend of hers at Starbucks. When we got to Starbucks, Danielle, who had been driving behind us, told us that my brake lights were messed up. Basically they were backwards. They would stay on while we were driving but turn off as soon as the brake was touched. Great. When we got home, we looked it up to try and fix it otherwise we were going to be spending the next day at a dealership getting it fixed. Luckily Rob was able to find someone online that had the same problem and posted how to fix it. It was an easy fix. Yay. Once it was fixed we went to bed.
