P-Fest...WhoopWhoop!

2007 Life is good Pumpkin Festival. I came, I saw. Pumpkins beware. I cut and gut about 25 pumpkins on Friday and then carved about 50+ on Saturday. I eventually ran out of designs to carve! Hearts, stars, faces, crazy designs, words, and finally, a goldfish! Kelli, Sean, Heather and I had an absolute blast!

On Sunday, I went to the State Fair with Joey. We walked around for hours looking at all of the crazy things: fried cheescake, fried twinkies, and the most massive funnel cakes I've ever seen. We rode a few rides, ate some yummy food, and had a SUPER time!

M-I-A-M-I


Wow...what more can I say. Miami was an absolute BLAST! Ann, Jim and I ate dessert every night, partied like rock stars, and then chilled all day at the most gorgeous beach I've ever seen. What a fantastic vacay. I also got to work at FH's Miami office for three days, which was great! On the way back to the house from eating brunch on fabulous South Beach, we took a detour to see these wild peacocks. So cool!

We went to Bill Baggs State Park, and also to Bahia Honda beach. Like I said before, it's the most beautiful beach I've ever seen. The water was so clear and perfect. A picture is worth a thousand words....

And then to top it off, we took a gorgeous trip to Fairchild Gardens. Never have I ever seen so many amazing plants!

Finally, I have to say that my favorite thing in Miami (excluding Ann and Jim, DUH!) were these crazy trees!



I had a fantastic time, and many thanks to my lovely hosts:) You guys rock!
