We woke up early today – 7:30am and were to the beach by 9:00am.
It was another beautiful, clear day with very little wind and the temperatures were around 85 degrees!
We initially thought we could stay on the beach until Noon; however, we had to leave at 11:30am so we didn’t burn.
We ate at a delightful, busy Columbian restaurant where they were having a 2 for 1 Sunday special Pina Colada and they were really good.
We went back to the room, cleaned up and drove north to a Cato’s as Barb hoped to buy some of the clothes she forgot to take – amazingly she also didn’t take enough scarves!!
After Cato’s we drove down and over to the edge of the Everglades and met good friends Renee and Eric Degalau who we met in Wisconsin when we first started Corvette Adventures. They have moved to the Ft Myers area a few years ago.
In Wisconsin, Eric was the #1 Corvette salesman in the state and a sponsor of Corvette Adventures. We also bought our Yellow Corvette from him.
Renea is a high-end interior designer and they flip houses and are very good at it and now have moved into the high-end houses. We certainly wish them a lot of luck.
We had Ahi Tuna and then Eric and Renee bought me a Pumpkin Warming Cake for my birthday.
We laughed, ate and drank our way though more than 2 hours of just plain fun! Thanks Eric & Renee for driving across the sate to be with us and thanks so very much for this enduring friendship.
On the way back we stopped at the huge Sawgrass Mall as Barb is looking for something yellow. She didn’t find anything so we went back to the hotel.
We have coupons for a nightly drink special and tonight it was a Bahama-Mama and it was very good.
That’s all for today – Tomorrow the forecast is cooler, waking up to 77 and going up to 81 – it should be a great day.
Night from Sunny Isle Beach.
