Ft. Lauderdale--Day 1


We woke up this morning and Zani and I made a big breakfast of eggs and kielbasa with bagels and juice.

It was very good if I do say so myself. 

I won’t lie though, today was hard.  Our dreams of a family vacation in the Bahamas were dashed upon the rocks.

The little things hit me like waves.  We were going to find and bring back a big Conch Shell, Mom bought Dad a bottle of sparkling white wine to have in the Bahamas on New Year’s and then she was planning on filling it with Bahamian sand.  I brought the knife for Seth.  (An inside joke).  We were going to try to go to Atlantis and surprise Mom with the idea when we were down there.  (Atlantis is a HUGE water park that has aquariums and other habitats.)  I was VERY disappointed.

Mom still felt like crap and was scared every time the boat moved on the mooring, it would upset her stomach even more.

But we tried to make the best of it and went across the street from the Marina to a public beach and got some color and played in the warm wave-filled Florida water.  Then we came back on the boat took showers and then ate an early dinner played games as a family.  Now I’m heading to bed.

There a lot of neat boats here…
And HUGE Mega Yachts!



 


If you don’t think it looks all that big look at the “little” boats in the first picture.

Good Night,

Victoria
