BUT, we ALL know that the real and only reason we are spending a week in Ft. Lauderdale is because he wanted to go to the BYU football game in Tallahassee. GO COUGS!!
Fortunately for me, there were enough diversions to help me enjoy the football game experience (despite the 7-hour drive there and the 7-hour drive back). Larry and Debbie Isaksen met us at Olive Garden for a delicious lunch before the game.
Klarissa's family also joined in the ball game fun and we hooked up with them at the Civic Center where the Cougar Club was hosting a tailgate party for all the die-hard fans.
Then off to the stadium we went to sit in the blazing hot sun to watch the ball game that is now history and not worth remarking about because BYU was not the winning team that day. GO COUGS...!?!?
Klarissa, all these previous pictures were for you so you could see your family. These next pictures are for Sarah who wants to know what the condo looks like. We love it. From the wrap-around balcony, you can see the ocean in one direction and the intracoastal waterway in the other direction.
We really enjoyed taking a water taxi so we could see sights all along the intracoastal waterway, which consisted of seeing lots of rich people's homes and their yachts parked out in front of their homes. I love how the neighborhoods are arranged in blocks like in a town, but the roads are waterways and what is sitting out front of their property is a gigantic water vessel of some kind.
Dinner at the 15th Street Fisheries was great because we got there in time for the tarpon feeding entertainment during our meal. Great view there by the water.

Oh my heavens. You guys were living the luxurious life out there in Florida. That condo is amazing! What a fun vacation for you guys. At least dad can't work on the cruise and he'll be forced to relax!
Thanks for posting all the pics of my cute family! As much as I wanted to be there for the game, you all looked like you had heat stroke and I didn't mind watching the game from the comfort of my own home. I am glad you were able to spend some quality time in FL and you didn't miss your annual Jackson family reunion:) Have a blast on the cruise!
I wasn't ready to re-live the FSU game yet...could have used a little warning in the title. Looks like a fun time...but I think in a few weeks you'll agree that September ocean-side in Florida pales in comparison to Omaha soybean-field-side in October.
