Thanks to T for arising early on a Saturday to take me to the airport for my flight to West Palm Beach! I was Florida-bound and was amused by the veritable train of wheelchairs that was waiting to get on the plane where I changed in Baltimore. Florida indeed.
My first day was really a half day (or less). I think I got in around 2, and we went straight to a late lunch where I ate entirely too much. The rest of the afternoon and evening was spent as the first day of a vacation should be - totally vegging out.
The next day we headed to Stuart to check out their green market. (Despite promises that I could sleep as late as I wanted, E still came in to wake me up so we could make it just before the market closed. At 1 p.m. The nerve!) Stuart also has a little waterfront stage where they have bands playing every Sunday from November through May - what a treat! We walked around the little town square and shopped, enjoyed the sunshine, and sampled the ice cream.
We strolled on the beach and were amused by the sandpipers running in and out with the waves before heading off to a large, tasty, eclectic, and very fried dinner at Hogsnappers.
Monday was earmarked for our pre-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving, so it entailed a trip to the grocery, E working hard at pumpkin cheesecake, mom working hard at everything else, and of course a trip to the pool!
And then it was back to the 30-degree weather at home, but I was at least able to take advantage of my three-hour layover in Atlanta with a couple of beers and an order of fried green tomatoes!

I guess if you live in sunny Florida, a car like this makes sense.

The strip malls are the same, except for the palm trees.

Mmm... fried green tomatoes...
