South Florida Look Out!

Hello everyone, Its been awhile since I've had anything real interesting to add to the blog...well finally it has happened! Scott and I finally got out ofagreed on a vacation destination and we spent five days in Fort Lauderdale. Of course wouldn't you know though, the temperatures in Columbus were comparable to Florida the entire weekend we were gone...such injustice.

We used our Southwest Reward Flights to get there and stayed at a Guest House that is only three blocks from the beach. We've only visited the beach once for a photo op since getting sand all over and dragging it to the room didn't sound all that exciting. The pool has been totally awesome and meeting the other guests has been pleasurable.

On Monday we drove to Miami Beach so we could do some shopping and I could see Lincoln Avenue. This is a street lined with cafes' and tons of shops. We both prefer the European designed clothes since they fit our slim bodies much better than the larger cut American styles.

The weather was absolutely wonderful and we've decided that this will become one of our regular get-away destinations. Our next trip is in two weeks when we'll attend Scott's niece's Christening in Chicago. We'll then be off for Minnesota in June to meet up with my family and hang out in Northern Minnesota near Canada where we've rented a large cabin to accommodate the dozen or so family members.

On the home front...work is going well for me in Dayton and I really enjoy the folks I work with. The drive is a pain but it's a job :) Scott is overworked as usual so this trip was really special for him. Life is going well at the house, we've planted a few flowers and Scott has decided a garden must planted where the best looking grass is in the back yard...the best looking because it has the most sun.

The pictures are of us in the pool and Scott relaxing on the raft that he took everyday from all the other patrons :) I'll let you know how Chicago goes. Take care.
