We never miss the chance to cook while we’re in Florida. It’s always a joint effort, something that doesn’t usually happen at home. We enjoy trying new restaurants while we are visiting as well.

There are a lot of birds that visit the pond behind the house, the anhinga among them. If you walk out into the backyard he stretches his neck and croaks at you indignantly.  We saw woodstorks and cranes as well but I didn’t manage to catch them with the camera.

We try to squeeze in as many trips to the beach as we can manage. I’m not fond of just sitting at the beach so poor Jason has to slog along after me on long beach  walks. I did manage to sit for a brief while so he could enjoy a dip in the ocean.
