Liddy's 17th Birthday Picture

Dali Museum

Today we (Chris, Liddy, Brad and I) drove up to St. Petersburg to visit the new Dali Museum.  I saw things in the paintings that I had not seen the first time I visited: I guess I have to keep going back!

I Survived Liddy's First Driving Lesson!

I let Liddy drive around the block this morning so she could get used to being behind the wheel.  A professional teacher is the best in this situation but it will take a week or two before we can get Liddy into a professional driving school class.  I hope I can make it through.

Learner's Permit

Liddy got her Florida Learner's Permit yesterday.  The third time was, apparantly, the charm.  She took the written test twice before and failed  For some reason she was just not motivated to learn to drive. 

I remember when I was at the age for my permit, nothing could hold me back.  I had no car, nor did I have any prospects of owning a car; I just knew that I wanted that permit and nothing was going to keep me from driving.  Now I don't like driving and prefer to be driven!
