Pompano Beach

-
This week we rented a car and headed down to Pompano Beach which is just north of Fort Lauderdale.  We were lucky and got to stay at a Wyndham Resort again (thanks Becky and Scott).  

View from our room.


In between the buildings they had a nice court yard to walk through to get to the beach.





This was the sunset view from our room the first night we were there.  This is on the channel side.




We also got up early again to catch the sunrise.  I love this time of day.





I made a new friend.  This little guy let me get about five feet from him.  I think he was hoping I had some food for him.





One night while we were there we decided to splurge and take a sunset dinner and cruise on the Serenity.

So we got all dressed up, I did my hair, and by "did my hair" I mean I washed it didn't put it in a pony tail.



So remember when I said dad was getting into Hawaiian shirts?  Check it out!


I know!!  So different from the t-shirts.  I like it though.  It took me a while to figure out who he reminded me of until it finally clicked that he was totally dressed like Charlie Sheen in Two and a Half Men.  😁



The captain gave us points of interest along the way.  So guess who owned the house below at one point in time??????  Yep, the one and only Chuck Norris.  I didn't fact check the captain so I am taking him at his word.


The house right next to it is for sale.  I think he said 11 million.


This one has four condos in it and you can be a proud owner for a cool 10 million.  Can you imagine what the HOA fees are?  Crazy.


All the houses along the whole channel had huge boats.  Some of them were bigger than our old house.



Gas station on the water, just pull your yacht in and fuel up.


Our captain told us that the lighthouse you see in a lot of these pictures was bright enough when it was running to set the Everglades on fire. Again, I am taking him at his word.




We had a great few days chilling!  Love and miss you all.

The Gun Flint Trail

So only Chad and I would carefully plan our future by selling our house, quiting our jobs, taking a year off to travel just to get thrown in a pandemic!  But there is not much any of us can do about it, the world is crazy right now.  So for the few people here that aren't my children - Chad and I were at Darien's riding out COVID when my old boss called and asked if I wanted my old job back.  I wasn't really sure what to do.  The one thing I know for sure is that our traveling is not done by a long shot and I didn't really want to be stuck in the same old grind.  So after much debate, I took my old job and am back at the same old grind. Not being sure what was going to happen with the fallout from the pandemic, I figured, it might be a good thing to have a stable job until all this crap blows over. So the Not the middle of Minnesota blog is coming to you from the middle of Minnesota.  Last week Chad and I went camping on the Gun Flint Trail.  This has been one of our fa

The Keys and Everglades

So as you are reading this we are obviously back home in Minnesota.  I really didn't have time to put this post together on the road. We spent four days and three nights in the Keys just chilling and hanging out.  The weather was perfect especially since the day after we left Sabin said the wind chill was -44. We decided to catch the sunset one evening so while we were waiting for the sun to do its thing, I took some random photos.  Honestly, the pics don't do it justice, it really is paradise.   One afternoon we spent in Key West.  We made it to the famous buoy...it was nice to see it but everybody does it so you literally have to stand in line with tons of people and wait your turn Then of course we spent a few days just relaxing on a couple beaches.  At first we were the pale white Minnesotans by the time we left we were the extra crispy Minnesotans. After our time in the Keys was up we ventured to the Everglades for a couple nights.  We camped at the Flamingo campground whi

Corona sucks!

Goodbye Texas! Corona stole you from me.  Oh the things we were going to do.  The antiquing, the vineyards, the hiking.  I will be back I promise. As I type this we are parked at a truck stop in the southern part of Oklahoma, this will be where we spend the night.  We choose to leave Texas early.  Minnesota is going on lock down on Friday.  Chad and I debated on whether we wanted to weather the storm and just stay at the rv park and keep practicing our social distancing or come home.  The one thing we both agree on is that if the crap hits the fan, one of us gets sick, one of our parents gets sick, we do not want to be 1400 miles away.  So about 3 p.m. we left for home.  Lets hope it's an uneventful ride. See you soon.
