I arrived Friday night, rented a car, and met up with Bill at the school. We went to a favorite Italian restaurant where I drank chianti and ate clams until I couldn't move.
Saturday, we started out with breakfast, then went off to the beach for an hour of sun and swimming in the ocean. Then we drove north of Ft. Launderdale, to the Oakland Park Community Oktoberfest.
There were food products that should never be consumed, let alone even thought of:
A Volkswagon car show:
And for pure entertainment, Weiner Dog Races!
While we were sitting on the beach, a plane toting an advertisement for the Marlin's baseball game and Steve Miller Band concert flew by. We started the trek to Miami for the game and stopped at this light:
I mean, COME ON, the man has been in office less than 2 years. Where's Herbert Hoover Blvd?
There was baseball (the Marlins won their last game with the Pittsburgh Pirates):
Then a spectacular fireworks show and the Steve Miller Band concert:
A thoroughly entertaining and exhausting day. Sunday we lazed around the pool. Monday found me back at the airport at 5:30 am, and home to Tri-Cities before noon.
Yes, this is how the jet-set lives...
