After the wonderful win in the Orange Bowl we had a day of nothing to do. WE started out at the over priced, yet delicious breakfast buffet. Then continued with lounging poolside all day. We did a total of absolutley nothing and it was great. WE might have take a stroll along the beach. IT was cool for FLorida, maybe about high 50's for the day.
The orange bowl was the coldest in history, 49 at kickoff and as floridians call it the "feels like" temperature was 37. I think the feels like temp at home was a tropical minus 8. Floridians have thin skin when it comes to the cold.
We concluded our lazy day by eating at Billy's crab house. It was a mile from the hotel. They had every kind of seafood imaginable. Stone crab was their specialty. I ended up ordering some cocnut shrimp and finished the evening with key lie pie. It was sooo good!
We had to leave early on Thrusday to catch our flight back home. We did however talk the driver into stopping at a Dunkin Donuts for some delicious fresh brewed coffee.
We got to the airport, security was no problem. WE did however discover that there was a dunkin donuts in the terminal. Oh well! When we got to our connecting flight in Atlanta the weather was changing. We weren't sure if we could make it back. It was blowing snow back home and it had started to snow in Atlanta. When Atlanta gets lots of snow they shut down, they don't have a snow plow.
Luckily we got out of ATL in time and landed safely back in Moline. However the blowing snow across the runway was not a pleasant sight. AS always I am so happy to be back on the ground, I hate flying!!!
Due to the bad weather we crashed at Amber's house. We did make a trip to the Filling Station to fill our bellies. It was another good trip. However we are stuck in Iowa for a while now, no more warm vacations for us. We are suffering through with everyone else.
