Florida Vacations

We're here in Florida! We left Thursday afternoon - I got home from work a little early, and we were able to get on the road a few minutes after 4. I convinced the hubby that we didn't really want to spend the money on a hotel room - and so we drove straight through. StepSon is the only teenager I've ever met who doesn't take advantage of those hours to sleep, but since he has good taste in music we sang through all three of Billy Joel's greatest hits albums and then threw in some Grateful Dead, Tom Petty and Simon & Garfunkel. Told ya he had good taste in music. We got to Florida at about 1 AM, much too early for me and sis to go to sleep. So we cracked open a bottle of wine while Hubby headed to his favorite place in the entire world: My sister's hot tub. He'll spend 75% of the next three days in there, but he'll be happy. And when he's happy, I'm happy. Especially when Sis is making Pink Lemonade Margaritas - which is my new favorite summer drink. There's Pina Colada's waiting for us, but we can't get away from these Margaritas long enough to find them. And of course we had to make a stop at the wine store today. Got Hubby a special birthday surprise there, too. So it's been an all around great day. Tonight, we head to the beach to watch Raiders of the Lost Ark. And then back home, to the pool, the hot tub, cheesecake and wine. Life is good....
