We stopped for lunch at a restaurant overlooking the water, which made for some beautiful scenery to look at while eating our food.
Once we got back to Ft. Lauderdale, we found a place on the street to park our red rental car (which I thought was a very funny car for Glen to hop into the first day we arrived since he was off to drive all those many miles to go to a BYU football game and everyone knows his least favorite color in the world is red...) and then sat at an outdoor table to enjoy our dinner.
One morning we walked through Hugh Taylor Birch State Park which was just a few blocks away from the beach, and part of the walk was next to the intracoastal waterway. It was very beautiful and we were enjoying ourselves so much until we noticed that there were hundreds--no thousands--no millions--of gigantic spiders in that park. It was so freaky to see those huge spiders hanging in webs everywhere we looked! YUCK!!!
After our walk, we decided to rent some bikes for a few hours so we could ride along the beach and out through some neighborhoods. We thought the signs about the turtles mating in the dark were pretty funny and Glen even found a nest of turtle eggs.
Dinner that evening was at a BBQ joint. The pig weather vain was my favorite part of that dining experience.
The Orlando Temple was our destination one day and I was so very happy we found a Golden Corral close by so we didn't have to eat fast food before our session.
On the day we were expecting Steven and Patricia Morgan to arrive from Albuquerque, we went to a movie.
After we picked up our friends, we took a drive to Miami Beach and found a place on the street by the beach to eat dinner.
As we ended that evening, we were all looking forward to getting on the ship the next day to begin our cruise.

The spiders looked gross.
I can't believe you ate outside in the Florida heat.
I believe it's weather "vane". Have you heard of Proofred?
Yes! Thanks for the plug, Becky.
Mom, since when do you guys choose Golden Corral over fast food? I can't wait to hear more about your trip. I can't wait to make your header courtesy of Proofred.
*After I Proofred my comment I saw I meant to say, "I also can't wait to make your header courtesy of Proofred.
I promise I won't always be cluttering your comments with plugs. After Becky's comment, I just couldn't resist.
Good post, and sounds like fun...but I feel like this post could have been livened up a bit. Have you heard of Proofred?
Good "plugs" children. And here I thought I was so "vain" that I thought I--of all people--didn't need to use "Proofred" (sorry I don't know how to make the link show up blue and underlined--maybe Proofred could have helped me with this comment as well...).
But, you'll all be happy to know that there is a "Proofred" header in the works! Go Sarah!!
You should just retire to FL - you have almost lived there a month now:) Glad to see you two are exploring the great state of FL! Did you try key lime pie while you were in the Keys? Can't wait to see the cruise pictures!
