Heading to holiday magic in Virginia

Last post before heading up to DC. for Christmas. So excited to see the little girls being excited. Christmas is most definitely for the little ones. It's all magic to them⭐🔔🎄🎅


Florida has had record breaking hot while cold records are falling across the country. Naples just broke a 60 year old high at 87 this past week. We went to an outdoor wedding Saturday night and it was sweaty hot. Didn't stop people dancing the night away.

And back to Miami. In a practical sense this works the best for flying up north. Ft Myers used to have non-stops for what is just a two hour flight - they're few and far between now. The airlines are holding us captive...

A strange sight from the condo. A DirecTv blimp wandering by. Don't know about you but I haven't seen one in a long while and for sure not up close and personal. It stayed around for quite a while - no idea what for.

Peaceful balmy morning out. Very difficult to comprehend Star Mt. has had 22" of snow in the few days. They are rejoicing at the ski resort for sure. Absolutely no doubt it'll be a white Christmas for them.

The ship horn sounded and out I went on the balcony to watch a cruise ship depart. This one is headed for the Bahamas. Enchantment of the Seas - almost 1,000ft long holding 2500 passengers.They actually added 73 feet a few years ago, how you ask? Cut it in half, added the footage and put it back together  - really. How is that even possible...

The Miami Circle again. I pass it every day I walk in Miami. It's Miami's version of Stonehenge and ancient - 2,000 years old, some scientists say much older. The circle and post holes are very precise measuring the earth's path around the sun similar to an astronomical observatory. Tomorrow is actually the winter solstice and I will be passing by early morning. I think I'm going to acknowledge this in some way, seems too special a place not to.

Fun dinner out at an old favorite (chain that is) never been to the Miami Trulucks location. And we walked! There's an advantage to being in a high rise downtown. Adds some entertainment to the event and not too far only- 3/4 of a mile. Food was great I'm happy to say. We'll be back.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!🎅🎅🎅🎅🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
