Edification

Some important firsts happened yesterday. Justin went to his first museum, his first restaurant, and went to Haslam's for the first time.

My friend Beau was visiting and he is a big Salvadore Dali fan so we went down to the Dali museum in St. Petersburg. Justin could appreciate the skill and thought that went into the works of Dali, but surrealism just doesn't move him emotionally. Maybe he'll come around one day.

After meeting us at the museum, Denis accompanied us to lunch at The Garden, a very nice downtown restaurant. I had the catch of the day, mahi mahi, and Justin had milk. He was flirting with the old ladies at the next table, then he took a nap.

We made a very quick stop (for our family) at Haslam's Bookstore, an evil establishment with black magic laid on its very aisles that causes anyone with the last name Marx to find one book that we simply have to buy every five minutes. We were in the store for twenty minutes. . . Justin liked the children's section, if you can believe it.

Many pictures were taken on Christmas day and the days immediately prior and after. Of these, the majority are in Louisiana and I will endevour to get a good sample online in the next day or two.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!
