Florida Day One

Chris and I left St. Louis at 6:00 this morning.

This is Chris's first flight.


Our rental is a Dodge Caliber. I am pleased with it, and I think the folks at the Belvidere Assembly Plant have continued their fine work.


We're staying at Thunderbird Beach Resort on Treasure Island.


Here's our room


And the view out our floor to ceiling windows!


We ate Cubans for lunch at The Floridian.


We spent most of the afternoon playing on the beach and in the water.


This is my birthday trip, so we went out to Sloppy Joe's for birthday dinner.

Then I got a pina colada from the Tiki Bar at Thunderbird and we went out to the beach to watch the Gulf sunset.
