Veteran's Day, we were happy to go over to Altamonte Springs (north of Orlando) and meet with Bob's cousins (Greg and Kaye), and Bob's Uncle (Harlan) along with Greg's daughter and Kaye's son. We toured Lake Brantley HS (where Greg has worked since the 80's) and then went out to dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse. Bob's Uncle Harlan is a decorated WWII veteran who was in town for a reunion in Florida. He was a member of the Navy's group that would later become the Navy Seals. Great time catching up and a lot of laughs.
Finally got down to the beach and did some walking along Flagler Avenue on Tuesday. We were going to have a beer at Toni and Joe's, but they were cash only and we didn't have any (which isn't unusual). Ended up at the Breaker's which had windows looking out on the ocean which was OK for the type of day it was. Connie picked up some knicks for the rig, and Bob got some T's and tanks.
Saturday, we did what we do best: sit and watch college football and, in particular, the Buckeyes take on Wisconsin. It was a great day for sitting out and the game was "big enough" to warrant the projector coming out. Also got extensive use out of our propane heater which was perfect for the evening once the sun went down. To make it all perfect, the Buckeyes win and people in the park were yelling "O-H" after the win.
Connie made a new dip for our "tailgate", and it was delish! The recipe is here:
This coming week, we'll get ready for our upcoming cruise on Thanksgiving Day and our trip to DisneyWorld. Work, work, work. :-)
