Ft. Lauderdale July 2013 - Day Four - - My Grandson is Born!!

Today has been a lazy laid back day for the most part with overcast skies.  Luckily, it gave us a day to recover from all the sun at Sebastian Beach yesterday.  It also gave the boyfriend a chance to hit the store in preparation for tomorrow evening's "Mo Down" as our hostess calls the gay parties we throw at their home every time we visit.   Tomorrow's plans include another excursion on the boat - pictured above flying a rainbow ensign the husband of one of the boyfriend's country club clients bought us and the Hampton Yacht Club flag - swimming in the pool and a barbecue.

The most exciting news is that my grandson, Benjamin was born this afternoon around 3:00PM Eastern time.  Mother and son are doing well at last report.  I am waiting to see some photos which I will share once I get them.  I treasure my granddaughter who is now 6 months old and will do the same with Ben.  

As far as the rest of the day goes, we had such a good time at The Alibi last night that we will probably venture back to Wilton Manors from Lighthouse Point and perhaps stop by the Gay Mart so that the boyfriend can buy a new swimsuit.

Ft. Lauderdale July 2013 - Day One


The boyfriend and I arrived at our friends' home (pictured above) in Lighthouse Point, Florida, just north of Ft. Lauderdale this afternoon and have so far had a relaxing afternoon and evening: drinks near the pool and a great dinner.  The flight out of Richmond on Jet Blue was smooth and seamless. Tomorrow we going out on our friends' boat;

For dinner tomorrow, we are taking our hosts to dinner at the Lauderdale Yacht Club (pictured below) via out membership in the Hampton Yacht Club.  I am looking forward to some down time, but will - as is the norm - being working on documents and communication with clients via e-mail.

We plan a number of outings to the beach and visits to gay venues in the area, including Wilton Manor, while in town over the 4th of July and the coming week.
