Florida 2012 for James and Pat

At this writing, Kathleen and Nick are anxiously watching the Weather Channel for news of Tropical Storm Isaac to determine their immediate future plans.  I am glad we are safe and sound in New York State as we keep Kathleen and Nick in our thoughts.

We had a grand visit to Belleair Beach soaking up sun at poolside.  Oh, yes, and the shopping.  There's a little Irish store I'll be visiting again!  Kath and Nick shared many of their stories of the Italy trip which only made us ache for the day that we could do the same.

Then it was off to Disney for a few days at the Happiest Place on Earth.  James was able to fully participate in a NASCAR Driving Experience despite a slight rain delay.  He had a grand time:

We also made a little game of taking some of our pictures from previous trips so they could be recreated circa 2012.  This project turned into great fun, especially with the complete strangers we asked to take these pictures after we explained what we were doing.  They took the job very seriously and these were fun little encounters.  James took on the mission of finding the original picture locations with all the seriousness of planning his next band trip.  I've take the old and morphed them into the new for your viewing pleasure.  I hope this works.  It will require your computer to have Adobe Flash Player and you may need to allow blocked content for Active X controls (gibberish I realize but that's what you'll likely see when you click to view).  Here's hoping this works for you.
