In Florida

Allison drove us to O'Hare yesterday morning for our flight to Fort Lauderdale. Here's Andy in the United Club while we waiting for boarding to begin.

We picked up a rental, a Chevy Malibu, and headed south. We took the "no toll" option so it took us a long time.

We had quite a drive to Marathon, where we stayed for the night. It would be dry, then rain pretty hard, then stop. I texted L and said this off and on heavy rain is bullshit. She replied, "Welcome to Florida lol. "

We stopped at Key Largo at Jimmy Johnson's Big Chill for dinner. Sat outside overlooking the water. The view was great. This was Andy's sunset picture.

We got a pizza - NY style but not as floppy as most are. Quite good for Florida pizza.

My photo when we got our table. We're surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico.

We were almost done eating when it started to rain. The waitress said we could move inside, no big deal. Apparently, it happens all of the time. We just moved to the other side of the table and tried to be under the umbrella. The rain didn't last long.

Our map on the way to Marathon. We were surrounded by water on both sides.

We got to our hotel, The Kingsail Resort, about 9:30. It was dark so I couldn't take any outside pictures. This is our room. There's also a screened in sitting area with a sofa and pool view but we were too tired to enjoy it. It's been a long day.
