The Sunshine State

Day 36 - Delray Beach, FL - Sunny 80's:

After a morning run in the gym at the hotel we made our way to Delray Beach. Once we arrived we found ourselves a parking space and headed straight to the beach. We ate lunch and laid in the sun for a bit before heading for a walk around town.

We checked into our hotel and made a quick trip to the grocery store. Once we had settled in we headed over to Mark and Becky's for dinner. It was so nice to see them. I didn't have a chance to see Shawn this summer and my has he grown! We spent the evening chatting and watching some football, it was so nice to catch up as I didn't really get a chance to visit this summer with the exception of a quick lunch date with Becky and Erin. We were also informed a number of times throughout the day from both friends here and family at home that we MUST go to Key West. No one was quite as adamant about it as Erin though. Let me tell you, she can relate anything to Key West and why we MUST go there. So I am pretty sure it's settled that we will be making a trip.
