I gotta get off my A$$

I have been very lackadaisical on my postings and I will attempt to correct this. I Think being retired is getting me tired.

We decorated our tree.

Oh Tantembaum

I have taken and posted many pictures of the blimp, which is housed just down the road from our place.

The Blimp!

They had a USMC toys for tot's drive over at the hanger this morning, and I couldn't resist the opportunity, so we zipped over there to see the inside of the hanger.

Bonnie and the blimp (and Santa)

Bonnie and a couple of US Marines (Thank god for our service men!)

After the blimp stop, we ran down to the beach to have some lunch.

The beach cafe...

what a view!!!!

After lunch we stopped by the Swap Shop (a huge flea market)
and the had some cars on display. One of them was the testerosa that was used on the TV show Miami Vice.

Sweet ride

I think from cars....

Then tonight we pulled a Griswold move. (It must run in the family)
We went down tot the inter coastal around 6:30 to watch the Christmas boat parade. We went last year and wanted to get a good parking place. We got there and there was only one other car there. We were pumped, as we figured we would get a good spot to set up our chairs. The other people there were speaking a different language so we set up our camp site and waited.

Wasting time waiting...I call it Moon over Miami

Bridge over wrong night waters

an hour and a half later, one of the people from the only other party there came over and asked in broken English, "is there boat parade?"
I quickly responded "it will start pretty soon". A half hour later a lady drove up to walk her dog and she walked by us and Bonnie asked if the boat parade was coming by tonight. She said....It is tomorrow night. I laughed all the way home. What a dork.
On the way home we saw the city was having its Christmas tree lighting ceremony so we stopped and got a picture...

Christmas tree in the tropics

Oh, by the way, speaking of the Grizwolds, we got an inflatable kayak....This should make for some interesting future blogging headlines.....

This should be fun.......
