Christmas Spirit

Day 41 - Delray Beach - Overcast and Rainy mid 80's:

Following our fishing adventure, we took it easy for the day. I got up early and headed over to the hotel to use the gym. Ben was going to go for a run but I took his shoes with me to town. This is one of the downfalls of having everything in the car. Once I got back we headed into town for lunch. We walked the streets of Delray and grabbed lunch before making our way to Mark's office to watch the Holiday Parade. I was very bummed that I didn't manage to bring the camera...we tried to get back to get it but too many streets were blocked and we would have missed it completely. Erin did a great job passing out candy canes an spreading holiday cheer. The only downside was that as soon as the parade started, the rain started...oh well!

After the parade we headed back to the house to get ready for dinner. We went with Mark, Becky, Sean, Suzy, Jay...and a few other friends to Boston's. It was great!! I highly recommend it! Erin was at a holiday party so she was enjoying herself with a bunch of friends. We got home late and headed to bed...
