Hey Everyone!
Happy Friday, I am squeezing this newsletter in real quick, as I am about to head out to Busch Garden's Preview Night of their amazing Food and Wine Fest! It's going to be a perfect date night and I'm so excited! I am looking forward to a fun weekend of events and celebrations, including celebrating a friend at her baby shower and then celebrating Goldfish Swim School at their Grand Opening- that's tomorrow, Saturday Feb 29th, by the way!
I have a really fun giveaway this week from our friends over at Thomas & Friends. If you haven't experienced A Day Out with Thomas at The Florida Railroad Museum in Parrish, it's a must for all young train enthusiasts. GO HERE to learn more about the Giveaway!
