Fort Lauderdale

 sawgrass mall

March 31 Sunday 2013

We go to the huge swap meet one day and walk around the Bahia marina another. Wednesday we take Shannon to the hospital around 5:30am and she gets out around 5pm . Everything went fine they found 2 cyst instead of one. She was feeling sore so she decided not to fly out with us but to stay until Wednesday. We had a good flight back to Seattle where Ethan picked us up and showed us the latest improvements on the boat. We stopped in Mount Vernin's Walmart and got some groceries then the duty free store at the border and were home in Surrey in no time flat. REMEMBER-It's never to late to be happy. But it is up to you and no one else.

water taxi ride

Opps I forgot a day

Sunday we took the water taxi and drove the inter coastal waterways going past many million dollar home that are empty as they are vacation homes. We have lunch at the Cheesecake factory on Las Olas.

REMEMBER-true friendship comes when silence between 2 people is comfortable.

Yesterdays we drove to the largest outlet mall in the USA Sawgrass Mills. Good thing Shannon knew where she was going. We have watched 13 cruise ship come in so far.

REMEMBER-go often to the house of friends for weeds choke the unused path.

west palm beach boat show

March 22. Friday 2013

We drive to Seattle Wednesday and Shannon gives us a tour of the boat while they are doing renovations. We get the red-Eye flight to Fort Lauderdale. Shannon's kitchen and bathroom renovations turned out great . Will take pictures tomorrow. We take a quick nap and go grocery shopping. Friday we drive to West Palm Beach for their boat show as Shannon has to order first aid medical bags for the boat. We go to the largest West Marine store in the US as Shannon wants to buy wet gear for the boat. She gets everything shipped to Seattle. Weather is perfect.

REMEMBER-don't wait for people to be friendly show them how.
