Time to drop out and head for an island to hang out and unwind.  Well maybe not but instead a simple cruise will do and thankfully our friends are celebrating their 11th Anniversary and our 20+ year friends want our company to help them celebrate.  So we packed up, divided up the puppies among friends, and started a new adventure by flying to Fort Lauderdale for a quick visit before sailing away on Sunday.

Texas has been a series of gray and rainy weekends with nice work days intermingled.  Temps are supposed to drop to winter conditions for a few hours on Sunday morning so Florida sounded good.   United direct flight drops us in Fort Lauderdale and a quick drop off to the local airport LQ and we are on the way to walk the Atlantic beach. 

Little did we know that this weekend was the International Boat show along the inter coastal canal so the traffic is bad but the walking is interesting as ever.  Beach shops, beautiful sand, pretty water all make for a perfect start.  No cold and rainy Houston for us.  Sorry pups time for Mom and Dad to play.

The four of us meet up just as the sun is going down at a waterside eatery know as Coconuts.  Stone crab claws, Scoobies, and paella make for a fitting start to a fall visit to the islands.  if you are ever in Fort Lauderdale make a stop at Coconuts.  Relaxed atmosphere, waterside, and an unusual terrific menu.  Where else can you get a Lobster Corn dog?
