Bathing Beauties in Florida

I saw this cute window display in a store Friday night and got the idea for bathing suits for my bears. Anyone who knows me well knows how much I love my bears. My bear collection has shrunk over the years but I still get a lot of joy from them, and this was an absolute blast looking for bathing suits that would fit two of my bears. Only in Florida.

The Airport Tiki

This is one of our favorite places to fly for either breakfast or lunch. It is called the Airport Tiki and is located at Fort Pierce, Port St. Lucie, which is just up the coast from Fort Lauderdale. The airport is a port of entry for the country and it has a Customs office, so we usually see a nice variety of planes and jets that are fly in. It is a really popular place for local pilots -- the aviation fuel is cheap and the folks are very nice. They even recognize us now. It is a beautiful flight up the coast and we always enjoy the view.

Flying to Venice, Florida

We flew to Venice, Florida on Saturday morning for breakfast at this really neat diner at the general aviation airport there. The chef is quite sophisticated for such a casual diner, with lots of unique choices and several healthy choices. On the way back, we flew around some major storms in the area which made it more challenging and quite beautiful flying around the major cloud buildups. We landed back home safely in a light rain just before the major storm hit our local airport. It was a great morning of flying.
