Beach with Ammy
We went back to Tampa in the morning and met up with my good friend and old college roomie, Ammy. While we were in the process of picking her up, her aunts and cousins came in, and one of her cousins got excited at the prospect of showing us her pet chicken. Then we all went to the beach, but kind of got rained out. This is us standing under the hatch of the SUV, hoping the rain will let up and allow us on the beach again. (It didn’t.)
Ammy & Ivy at the beach
After we’d gotten changed back to regular clothes, we went to the Tampa Pitcher Show for dinner and a movie–at the same time! Here is Ammy and me pretending we think we’re hot stuff, sitting on the car.

Okay and here’s when we went to sing karaoke with my dad! One is just me singing “Forgiven” by Alanis, two are me singing with Dad, and one is Fred singing “Hotel California.”

Solstice Day in California with Fred
Got to visit San Francisco, the Golden Gate bridge, and the Pacific Ocean on the Winter Solstice, and then we did a Yuletide ritual together.

The beach!
We ate at IHOP and then headed to the beach.

Our castle
The castle we made
Ivy’s castle
We decided that I was the castle’s evil witch, Jessica was the moat monster, Ron was a knight or something, and Fred was the princess. 🙂 Later we went home and I dozed. 🙂
Waking up on the couch
We went to a Thai restaurant which kind of pissed us all off because it seemed we got bad service everywhere we went. Later we had ice cream and watched some of Tenchi in Tokyo.
