After spending the weekend doing laundry, cleaning, and trailer maintenance, (just a little pipe leaking problem, tail light out, and Yuk, Yuk, Yuk, sewer back up problems), we decided it was time for a Beach Day. We packed up the coolers, lawn chairs, straw hat, sunscreen, dog water, dog treats, dog and headed for the only dog friendly beach: Fort Meyers Beach. As you may remember, we had visited the beach when we first arrived, a cool, overcast day, no problem parking and very few people. After sitting in traffic for one and a half hours, we realized that our only hope of remaining civil with each other was to turn around and head home. Boy, are we beach newbies, who knew that that the beautiful 80 degree weather would inspire every other Snowbird in Southwest Florida with a dog to head for the only dog friendly beach. It may not seem obvious to my blog followers, but Randy and I do eventually learn from our mistakes and we have concluded that next time we travel, the dog must either board with Aunty Lissy and Uncle Tim or learn how to stay alone in The Land Yacht.
It wasn't a completely ruined day, I discovered Beall's Fun and Funky Florida style clothing outlet. I had great fun picking out shorts and shirts for Randy, pants with embroidered matching tops with beach themes for me and some cheap flip flops... I realized I was out of control when I noticed that in my Southwest Florida induced "dare to be tasteless" frenzy, I had put some denim capri pants with flamingos gracing the pant leg in my cart. I traded them in for some salt water taffy.
It is time to sign off, not only am I getting tired, but my fingers are too sticky to type... damn that salt water taffy.
