Our vacation to Fort Lauderdale was everything I hoped it would be: lounging in the sun, exploring nearby cities and enjoying oceanside cocktails. While there are still bags to unpack and photos to upload, I couldn’t wait to share a few snapshots from the trip.

1. Watching planes at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport
2. Coach aviators as a Palm Beach souvenir and my favorite pastime: collecting shells
3. A bit of relaxation in Hollywood Beach
4. An overpriced lunch at the Rustic Inn Crabhouse for their garlic crabs (a lot of work with little reward, but it was fun)
5. Rocky shores of the Blowing Rocks Preserve near Jupiter 
6. The cutest flamingo at Flamingo Gardens (har har) 
7. Two adventurous flamingos – the rest of the flock stayed away from the tourists
8. The courtyard oasis at our hotel: The Cocobelle Resort 
9. The hotel’s vintage key fob
