Why thank you, Spirit Airlines, for offering a fantastic deal on flights from AC to Ft. Lauderdale this May. Along with some hotel travel points, my savvy husband took advantage of this opportunity to suggest a Floridian getaway. And the grandparents all said YES to babysitting! Woohoo!
Below, the Marriott.
There was this neat gigantic chess set. Of course, Jim whooped my arse.
But look how adorable he is with this toothy horsey piece. (A knight?)
Awesome little restaurant that was well reviewed and located right across the street from our hotel. Clams on a half shell.
And for table-side entertainment: IGUANAS!
That thing was huge! And sitting on the ledge right next to us! Check out the muscular thighs as it jumps through the air when told to 'scat'!
How was the weather in FL you ask? Well, Day One was excellent, resulting in lots of suntanning sunburning as well as frequent dips in the ocean. Day Two RAINED. HARD. So we watched a lot of Sportcenter. Day Three was cloudy. Rented bikes and made our way through the city.
EXCELLENT crepes at some little French restaurant. Some kind of creamy stuff on the strawberries and bananas and NOMNOMNOM it was delicious. Jimmy enjoyed his espresso with the
tiny spoon.
And Day Four was windy as all heck. Seriously, it had to be very close to the kind of wind you get just before some kind of crazy hurricane. Couldn't stay on the beach because the sand would rip you to pieces. So we chilled, poolside. Did a lot of reading, a lot of Pina Colada sipping, and a lot of just hanging out. Nice vacation. Thanks, babe ;)
