Fleetwood Mac at St. Pete Times Forum





































On Wednesday night, Erin, Brian, and I went to the St. Pete Times Forum, http://www.sptimesforum.com/, to see Fleetwood Mac, http://www.fleetwoodmac.com/. Erin and I already had VIP tickets, where food and drink were included with our seats, and Brian picked up a ticket in the 3rd row, center, from one of our friends, Nick, who owns Mad Tix, http://www.madtix.com/. It was a great show where they played all the classics.

Easter Sunday - Uncle Frank & Samantha's Birthday




























On Easter Sunday this year, it was the first time that we had Chris, Tammy and the girls with us in a number of years.  Amanda and her boyfriend, Matt, also arrived in Florida from Tennessee.    Grandma even made the twins and Samantha's Easter dresses.

We had our traditional Polish soup, borscht, which consists of kielbasa, rye bread, hard boiled eggs, horseradish, and broth, then the Italian tradition of homemade raviolis.

Penguins vs. Lightning
















On Tuesday night, Erin and I went to see the Penguins, http://penguins.nhl.com/, vs. the Lightning at the St.Pete Times Forum, http://www.sptimesforum.com/.  The game was shortly after the trade deadline, so it had  the Pengins additions of Bill Guerin and Chris Kunnitz.  Our seats were right behind the Penguins bench so we were able to get a good view of the players up close.    

During the first period, the puck came flying over the glass heading right towards us crashing down towards the seats.  Erin and the guy sitting next to her both dived down looking under their seats for the puck.  I looked over, saw it sitting on the metal that connects the two seats, and picked it up.
