Jenna's Visit! a.k.a Kali Mojo's 2008

Jenna came to visit me in Sunny Orlando, FL for Labor Day weekend and we had a blast! She was seeking a relaxing weekend far away from work in Cinncinati, so playing the gracious hostess I tried my best to show her a good time:)

Saturday morning I took her to downtown Winter Park, a.k.a Park Ave, to the Farmers Market and we sipped lattas and strolled around in sun dresses checking out everyone and there dogs, seriously, Farmers Market a.k.a Dog show!

Next stop was my grandma's 76th birthday Party hosted at my Uncle Guys house in Oviedo. It was a mix of family and strangers some of which I ended up having to protect Jenna from as my Uncles friends consist a great deal of the beer belly, cigar smoking, hawaiian shirt variety:) But the wine flowed and it was all good. I put on a show for my grandma and sang such hits as "Think of Me" and "When you Walk through a Storm" to a rousing slightly drunken applause from the guests. To top the night off we went to "City Walk" at Universal and hopped around the different clubs (See above picture.) A 2 am trip to Steak and Shake followed. of course:)

The next day after a slow start indulging in coffee and one of my moms home made blueberry scones we headed to the Millenium Mall for a Shopping Spree! Now I haven't allowed myself the pleasure of shopping for most of the summer so this was a big deal! We combed stores like Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, and Victoria Secret, and Jenna kept me from making countless Fashion fopas...I tried to return the favor with mixed results:P Exhausted from shopping we headed to Pannullo's Restaurant on Park Ave to indulge our craving for Italian Food! We sat out on the patio in the humid but still beautiful night and drank a crisp pinot noir while listening to the sounds of a soulful saxaphone drift down the peaceful lane. After a quick wordrobe change we met my friend Jonathan downtown for drinks and she got a good dose of the Orlando night scene which was stangely popping for a Sunday night (See picture to the right.)

Monday morning we headed to the BEACH! On the way we stopped and got stuff for one of our favorite drinks and consiquently the name of the trip, Kali Mojo's (not spelled like this though). A Kali Mojo is where you mix coke and red wine, an odd combo you might think but absolutely delicious! It was cloudly but the sun was still beating through and it turned out to be a perfect day for the beach, which was quite crowded. We sipped our drinks, ate Publix subs, and played in the water until we had to head out around 3 so she could catch her 5:50 flight. There may or may not have been some Dairy Queen Blizzards thrown in there:) It was a marvelous trip and a wonderful time...at least I hope so. Jenna?:)

Miss you girl!

Okay who's coming to Florida next!
