I'm back from a quick but wonderful trip to visit my parents in Florida. It was fairly last minute, so Brian unfortunately couldn't get away, but one-on-one time with Mom and Dad is pretty special too. It was perfect Florida weather while I was there, which meant a couple trips to the beach, kayaking, lots of walks and a bike ride. We saw alligators, a dolphin (or shark, not sure), manatee and bald eagle, We also went out for dinner a few times, which was a treat for all us since we usually cook at home. We went to Petra's where I had a great fish dish, stopped by Acqua Bistecca at the new Ritz-Carlton Residences for appetizers and a cocktail before having a great pasta dinner at home, and Enzo's where we had a delicious bottle of wine and I enjoyed linguine and clams. So good. My friend Kim was also at her place (in the same community, just up the road from my parents) with her dad at the same time, so we had them over for cocktails one night which was a treat. Unfortunately, I had a cold for most of the trip so wasn't 100%, but we got to relax and make the most of the visit. It went by way too fast, that's for sure.
