My Memorable Memorial Day

BB had no plans for Memorial Day.  As you know, I am currently in Miami visiting La Tata, with no transportation except public transit, which actually isn't a bad way to travel and I wish we had it in my rural town Up North in The South, but the days are getting hotter and the walks between bus stops and final destinations seem longer when its hotter, and those of you who know me know Babushka doesn't do hotter, so before this one sentence becomes a paragraph all by itself, let's just stop it here and say BB had no plans for Memorial Day.

But then there was Feibu. 




Actually, then there was an invite via Feibu from the Hispanicize team to join them at Jungle Island- free admission w/BBQ for a blogger and a family member. Hola!

BB pass up a chance to go out, with family, for food, and for free? JU SO FONII!!
The first RSVP was Babushka's. 


In truth this event gave me a chance to have Friends

Hispanicize Miami Group





Family
BB,Eldest Daughter
La Tata, El Dr., La Princesa




and Fun

El Dr. w/his "Crocodile Live"

lovin' the fros and the dia




For a day I didn't have plans, I couldn't have planned it better.



Babushka Besos a todos.  Cuidensen.






P.S. What fun reconnecting w/Hispanicize dear friends Farah Mesa & Lynn Ponder, getting better acquainted with Manny Ruiz, Jewel Figueras, and Katherine Johnson while also enjoying the sponsorship/hospitality of Jungle Island y  the Blackberry Tablet demo from Team Blackberry. Oh si,  lots of networking amongst the fun. 

P.P.S.  Team Blackberry, when's your next contest for the tablet?  BB ♥ that WiFi Only!!

P.P.P.S.  MOST IMPORTANTLY-
To those whose Memorial Day was spent remembering loved ones
who had died for our freedoms,
fuerte abrazos, strength, and mil gracias for the sacrifices made.

    1. It was a great time and I'm sorry you missed it. Pero I know you'll make up for all the Cuban Craziness next time at Hispanicize 2012!! Y el calor? Mujer, wishing I could send you some of this heat so you could enjoy it- truly, I would gladly send some your way if I could. ; )

      And speaking of truly- BB doesn't say what she doesn't mean, so... WRITE THAT NOVEL MUJER!!!
