Ft. Lauderdale January 2014

We made a getaway to the warmth in January, but it turned out not to be so warm most of the week.  The temps were mostly in the upper 60’s.  It did get warmer later in the week.

While waiting to board the plane in Milwaukee we ran into Andy and Kristina Steineke.  It turned out they were on the  same flight.  We didn’t even know they were headed to South Beach to celebrate Kristina’s 40th birthday.  We talked them into going to a Florida Panthers game with us to celebrate her birthday.  We brought her some cupcakes and the kids got their faces painted before the game.  We had a blast at the Panthers game.  The kids received game pucks from the camera man.

We visited the Sawgrass Recreation Park and went on an air boat tour through the Everglades.  We even spotted a gator!

We relaxed, swam, and played video games at the Wyndham Palm Aire most of the week, but did make it to the beach a few days.  We also brought our hockey skates and found a rink with open skate.
