Over-Exposed

As I've already mentioned, last week my family went to Florida with Cathy and Mike's family. I didn't sort my pictures very well, I just uploaded them every couple of days without dates, so I no longer have any idea what day anything happened and don't care enough to go into the photo files and find out. Anyway, these pictures are in semi-chronological order.

Our condo in Florida is right on the water, so here's mike being "King of the World" on the corner of our balcony:

Despite being the "sunshine state," we had a few clouds every day that got in the way of our tanning experience. That's all right though, because the sun always wins:

Here it comes:

The ocean:

Almost every day we took walks on the beach and found a lot of interesting things. Daytona Beach tends to be really "clean," and by clean, I mean there's rarely any seaweed or anything washed up on the sand, but there were storms out to sea and some really strong winds the week that we were there, so we saw a lot of beach junk. I guess I shouldn't call it junk because it's not "junk," but you know what I mean. As I mentioned in a previous post from Florida, we saw two Portuguese Man O' Wars which are so poisonous that they have actually been known to kill people. Too bad, because they're so pretty:

Something else I found on the beach (what is it?):

More beach finds:

Shadow crab holes:

Fun beach cars:

After the beach, we drove around and went shopping for a little while and saw this fire:

Later that afternoon, we had to take Mr. F to the doctor because he was having an issue with his ear. We only made a minor scene at the doctor's office:

We saw a blimp from the waiting room:

That night, my dad accidentally exposed himself in his Playboy pajamas (trust me, I would NOT have taken this picture if I had known, I just thought I was taking a picture of his pajama shorts):

For dinner on our second night (but after our first whole day there) we went to Chili's where Cathy and I got 2 for 1 happy hour margaritas:

At Chili's, my dad and I got into a fight that went down a little bit like this.... He asked for a sip of my margarita and I said I couldn't finish it so he could have the rest, so he took the glass, sucked up some margarita, and spit it through his straw at me like a 5 year old. I didn't fight back because I knew I could figure out something better to do, so I slowly dripped water in his lap while he wasn't looking so that when he got up it would look like he wet his pants, then he threw ice cubes at me and my mom got really pissed at both of us.

Dripping water on Dad's lap:

We obviously had Krispy Kremes for dessert:

Followed by Mike making fun of his dad's nipples:

P1070884.JPG

At night, we went down to sit on the pool deck and watch the ocean and saw what looked like a giant rabbit in a purple room in a nearby condo:
P1070920.JPG

We still don't know what it was.

That's all for now, but there will be a lot more coming soon!

Dad has Playboy underwear? I guess Mom is putting the catalog I sgned them up for to good use.

Coming close to see your own dad's "business" is just all kinds of wrong.
