In late April Brett and I spent a long weekend down in south Florida visiting family. We had an open morning so we went for a long walk on the broadwalk in Hollywood Beach. We got out early before the broadwalk got crowded but as we made our way back the crowds were moving in. It was beautiful and the extreme heat had not set in yet so everyone was out.
Nothing says “Florida” like a mermaid statue.
Passing by touristy sights.
It was a beautiful weekend.
On Sunday we had dim sum in Fort Lauderdale with Brett’s extended family. The Chinese restaurants are much better here than the Tampa Bay area.
For years we came down here to visit family and I never saw an iguana. Now I see them everywhere when we visit.
Watching the boats go by and relaxing along the intercoastal waterway between walks and meals.
Beautiful capture of Florida at its finest.
Oh I love the vibe of the boardwalk and all the touristy sights and the iguana. What an outing you had.
Brilliant sky shots.
I love the beach scenes and the view of the sky through the tropical trees.
Amazing pics
We’re always looking for good Chinese restaurants. Is this one in Pembroke Pines? Care to share the name? We found Dim Sum King in Bradenton to be pretty good.
As for iguanas, we’ve seen them in Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park as far back as 2001, but you’re right, they’re all over the place in the greater Ft Lauderdale area now.
We’ve eaten at China Pavilion on Pines Blvd several times. It’s always a long wait on Sundays so we get there when they open.
Great shots.
Worth a Thousand Words
Florida is the stuff of movies down here in Australia, so thankyou for taking me there. It is also freezing cold in the middle of winter here, so I enjoyed the summer scenes. Enjoy your weekend ahead. I am joining you at Gma’s Ge-ner-ic linkup.
Just stunning!
