Off to Florida!

Our vacation journey started with a trip from Portland to LA to Ft. Lauderdale. We had uneventful flights and lots of laughter. Not to mention trying to sleep! I think I was the only one awake on the entire plane - just can't get comfortable on those tiny seats! We arrived in Florida at 6am and it was already 75 degrees - we were ready for the sun!
This is all the luggage from the six of us traveling together! No shortage of clothing here!

LA airport - pretty cool terminal but not many places to get good food. We ate in shifts and Greg and I tried out a place that wasn't too bad if you like airport food.
This was the view from our room. We had the entire day to play on the beach and just relax -----we were loving that orb in the sky!
My first time in the Atlantic Ocean - literally! It was so warm!
Greg decided sitting on the deck was the way to relax.
Greg's brother (without the shirt) joined us. We hadn't seen him in several years so it was good to catch up. I couldn't help but remind him he looked more like his brother every day.....gray hair included!!! (Being the younger brother, he didn't much appreciate the comments about being older!)
Can you say rain!!??? What's up with that! We had left that stuff in Oregon, yea right! But it didn't stop us from enjoying the pool Rain and 90 degrees....that's my kind of weather!
Tradition has it you have to take pictures of the palm trees! A Florida icon, for sure.
