Last Saturday we attended the nightowl market in fort lauderdale.  Night market have become quite popular.  A good way to spend a night supporting local business, artists, crafters and chefs.  I love the people watching.  Especially the girls with big colorful bold tattoos and colorful hair.  So awesome that they can do that these days.








































































weeks in pictures...

We got in the car one day this summer and ended up in Virginia.   Our exchange student had just arrived the day prior. 

We made it!
We rented bikes one night and went exploring.  Virginia Beach has a great bike culture.

I love how there are always bikes parked outside of  the restaurants even the more upscale places. You can't see it here but there are about 20 bikes parked outside this eatery.   


Late night snacks at Aunt B's

This is a farm stand that has a big barn with gourmet wine and foods for purchase inside you can then take your goodies to the tables out front.


Sister in law sharon's back patio, which we love.  Because you don't melt in the heat.  It was in the high 70's


Yay.. real trees

Greg grew up in this house,  small front yard but a huge backyard with a greenbelt that sits on the water. This house as slept and fed many many people.

Full Moon Party

There has been such an awesome full moon for the past few nights I have been dying to go down to the beach and watch it rise.  We gathered the kids,  put together a meal, got a bottle of  beach appropriate wine and off we went.   So of course it rained as soon as we got out of the car and then  the moon never made an appearance.  So here we are eating dinner at the beach
