Beach babe

We drove about 40 minutes to Sarasota.  Our choices today were a Ringling Brothers Circus Art Museum or the beach.  Guess which won!  These pictures are from Lido Beach on the Gulf of Mexico.  The temperature was about 84F, but the water was chilly.

We spent a couple hours just jumping and playing on the beach and in the surf.  The water was cold until you got used to it… or you became numb from the cold.

A couple of young surfers were practicing their craft.

We had a great time as you can see.

In Warm and Sunny Florida

Logan1We had our first problem while sitting at the airport in St. Louis waiting for our plane.  Lady Logan decided to show Grandpa how cool the combination lock on her luggage was.   She locked it all up nice and tight and then when she tried to show me how it opens up…. you guessed it… it didn’t.   Somehow she unknowingly changed the combination before she locked it.   We were fortunate that she had her boarding pass in her backpack and not her suitcase.  We would have been in big doodoo had she locked it up in there.

It was time to get on the plane so we figured we’d work on that problem when we got to Florida.   When we got to our hotel, we called Mom & Dad to double check the combination… and as we thought, it didn’t work.   Luckily it was a 3 digit combination…and more luckily after about twenty minutes of just rolling the numbers around and trying different combos I hit the jackpot.  The lock opened.  The combination wasn’t close to the one that was previously set.  But, we got it open and now she has clean underwear for the duration of the trip. 

Tomorrow will be a better day…. we hope.
