Here's another photographic peek into our road trip from Rochester to Florida. We always make a stop in St. Petersburg to have lunch at The Red Mesa Catina---one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. I once had a special posole there that I've managed to replicate with some success at home, and their chicken quesadillas are the best I've ever had. This time I had the Cuban torta which was wonderful, and big enough for two lunches. Our other stop, Whim-So-Doodle, is just around the corner. It's the best scrapbook/stamp/stationary store I know. Tracy entertains himself with Facebook while I shop.
This weekend, after our lunch and my shopping, we went to see the Chihuly Collection. We've seen one of his garden installations in Atlanta, and a fabulous show at the deYoung Museum in Golden Gate State Park, so we were really looking forward to seeing some new and different pieces. It was, however, a bit of a disappointment as the collection is much smaller than we anticipated. Many of the larger sets are ones we've seen elsewhere, although there were a few new pieces I liked a lot, including the white one below. If you don't know Dale Chihuly, it's definitely worth a look at his site.
Check out Helena's blog for more SNAP collections this week. We're on our way back to the cold, and evidently very snowy, northeast tomorrow. Although I'll miss the mild Florida weather, I'm very ready to settle in at home after having been on the road since Christmas.
