I saw in the white xmas post that you're headed to FL. ?If happen to find yourself on the east coast and want to meetup, page me. ?I'm going back for 2 weeks, and it will likely drive me insane. ?I don't know what I was thinking when I booked my flight. ?Skiing should have trumped that much time, even if I hadn't seen my family in 2 years.
Does Tampa area do a boat parade? ?I'll be flying in in time for the Ft. Laud. version. ?I haven't seen it since high school.
And to top mimosas outside, as awesome as they are, it's really awesome to go looking at xmas decorations from a boat, cruising the canals, drinking, enjoying the balm or frigid, whatever the night might bring.
to the palm tree hating northerners.

Re: Irish
We take the boat out to look at lights, too! Its fun
I doubt we will be on the west coast. We are only there for a week before we head up to the inlaws, and I'm pretty sure both sets of my family have preplanned the entire week, haha. But I will definitely page you if we do!
And if you happen to find yourself on the west coast let me know!
I can imagine 2 weeks with the fam, after not seeing them for so long, can be a bit much. DH won't be with you, right? I think I would go crazy if DH wasn't there.
No, he won't be there. ?There is actually a chance I'll be in your area. ?My mom's mom lives in Spring Hill, and since her dad so recently died, she's been traveling there a lot.
H won't be anywhere around. ?They don't exactly let people come home from the sandbox just so I can have a little shield
?

Dunedin does a mini boat parade, nothing as cool as Ft. Lauderdale.
