Friday Night in.....FLORIDA! :)

I found Lora at her gate about an hour after I landed.....and after we got our rental all squared away, we were on our way to get Mindi & Nita from their Ft Lauderdale hotel. They got in a night before us....went out, had a great time, and then spent the entire day at the pool. Lucky girls!!

The sun was setting right as we were going to meet them, and it was gorgeous. When we got to the girls, you could definitely tell that they had spent all day in the sun....Lora and I had some catching up to do! :)


We were staying at Vacation Villas in Weston, about 20 miles West of Ft Lauderdale. The place we were staying was a cute little suite condo thing in the burbs. The burbs part gave us all a giggle, but hey....we were not complaining. Mindi totally hooked us up for the vacation accommodations from an old time share thing, so the room was all taken care of...score! :)

We scouted out our options for a bite to eat and stumbled upon a gem at El Mariachi. It was one of the only places still open at 1opm in the very quiet town on a Friday night. We got some strange looks from the locals when we walked in....I guess they could tell we were from out of town. We decided it was because we were too young to live in Weston ourselves, and none of the local people recognized us as their friends' kids. :)

For Mexican food in Florida, we were all pleasantly surprised. It was darn tasty. Mindi and Nita were still feeling the effects of their Thursday night, so Lora and I were on our own for the yummy margaritas. Not a better way to start off a vacation in my opinion. :) Our dinners were yummy too!! We had a good time getting all caught up on each other's lives....so much so that we shut the place down.



We turned in early after din din for an early start to our Saturday. I'm so happy to be on vacation with the girls, and looking forward to some fun in the sun over the next few days!! :)
