Sick for Spring break

No, it wasn't covid! But poor Molly had a terrible cold during our Spring break trip to Fort Lauderdale, and I ended up getting it right when we came back. At first, Jason and I thought Molly was just being a cranky tween on the trip (which may have partially been the case), but she really didn't feel well. So, we had a very low key vacation. Still fun - our dinners were all fantastic and we had a nice time at the beach - but we also slept in late and spent more time than we planned in the hotel watching movies and HGTV.

I also realized during the trip that I need to meet Molly where she is, and not just force her into doing what I want to do. She doesn't enjoy hours of reading by the beach. But she sure loved getting her nails done and browsing around the surf shops by the pier. Here are a few of the highlights:

Water taxi ride - 8 minutes of fun after an hour and a half wait :)

Back at the Yankee Clipper (now the B Ocean Resort), 15 years after our wedding! 

Outdoor dining at Louie Bossi's

Teenager in training - we realized at the airport that just about every girl between the ages of 12 and 18 was wearing some variation of the same outfit :)
