While my trip to Florida was indeed a trip, it wasn’t all bad.
I brought with me a Gingerbread house kit that my little cousin and I put together over the course of two afternoons (my mom has had custody of him since he was a baby and he calls me his sister and I call him my little brother). Dr. Man and I enjoyed a wonderful Christmas party that an Uncle and his wife hosted. Neighbors, friends and of course family attended. They even had a live band that played pop, jazz and christmas songs. Everyone really seemed to have a good time and later on that evening, we went out to dinner with my dad, his date, my younger brother, his girlfriend and my other little brother. We all met up at a local restaurant called Finz. Dinner was fantastic and so was the glass of Yellow Tail Shiraz that I had with my main course. To cap it all off, we were treated to a wonderful fireworks display that so brilliantly lit up the sky and the restaurant had nothing to do with it. I still don’t know what group or individual was responsible for the fireworks, but never the less it was a nice way to end dinner and it was a complete surprise.
And last but certainly not least, there was the wonderful, million dollar, waterfront view at the Pirate’s Cove Resort and Marina. The folks there were very kind and hospitable and they all knew my crazy brother (“Mr. Personality”) who used to work there. Enjoy the pictures. I enjoyed taking them.
