Sunshine state

Just got back from a nice trip to Florida to visit my grandma, who is turning 90 in about a week! My mom and sister made the trip too, so it was a good reenactment of what it was like when the three of us always used to go down there for spring break every year. The weather was warm and muggy - but not as bad as it is in August. After throwing an ice cream party for G-ma with all of her card-playing buddies, we had a nice dinner at the Oyster Bar in Punta Gorda- a town through which the eye of Hurricane Charley passed in 2004. The FEMA trailers were still there - though word on the street was that the residents were going to have to move soon, but to where noone knows.

We also had a close encounter with a local reptile:
Just a small lizard, but he moved very fast. I used my 12x zoom to get this shot. :)
