Going East

On my way home to Buenos Aires, I took a detour to Connecticut to see Bianca. I love the feeling of being with the grandkids and see how much they have grown since I saw them. This is what I live for!

Turning 80 and feeling fabulous!

My mom's 80th birthday celebration was a blast!! 

First night we checked in to the Airbnb home 

Started Valentines by opening presents to everyone

Next, going shopping at the mall to find nice dresses 

Had dinner at a Peruan Restaurant 

Opened her birthday presents right at midnight 

Followed the next morning with a delicious breakfast and cake

In the evening, we went to dinner and to see the pirate show

with Alex design:"mami is 80 & fabulous!"

The next day on Sunday went to Church and had tacos for lunch

Followed by a Vintage Victorian portrait of all of us 

Next, we had pupusas for dinner brought all the way from El Salvador

The next morning was a Holiday for Presidents day so we slept in

After "the meeting," went out shopping and had mediterranean food

Finally we went to St. Pete's beach to spend the day and had Italian food

The last day we checked out, returned the car, and Liz, Vane and I went to the airport 

Mari and mom stayed one more day in Orlando before going home

I am grateful for the chance I had to be there. Wound't want to miss it for the world!
