My psychotic trip to Florida - Part IV - 'Scooting Around Town'

I realize I have posted these blogs really fast and some of you are having trouble keeping up. I did this because I wanted to tell the whole story but split it into parts so it wouldn't be too long to read. Here are the links for the first three parts in case you missed one of them.
Part I - The crazy Lady
Part II - Dazed and Confused
Part III - Sights, Sounds, and Tastes
Part IV - Scooting Around Town **THIS BLOG**
Part V - Homecoming (coming soon)

So far, I survived until Sunday. Believe it or not, Sunday was the only full day I actually spent in Florida. Again, the weather was awesome - not too hot, not too cold. I could very comfortably wear my favorite red leather jacket. :) Morning started off with breakfast and a drive to where my husband had been working while he was there. Then came the really, really fun stuff. My absolute favorite part of the whole trip, and the most fun I've had in soooo long. We rented scooters!!

It was incredibly fun to ride around the town on scooters all day. I was scared at first because I've never been on a scooter before, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. I even got to test drive the scooter I have been thinking about buying for several months.

They had it in stock and everything, but I had to walk away because I've already committed to paying for a deck. :( Plus we are going into winter right now so it won't really be useful for several months. Still, I came really, really close to saying wrap it up and ship it. I can be a bit of an impulse buyer, but this time I was good.

Other highlights of the day: (We rode the scooters to all of these places)

  • Having earrings custom made at a bead store to match two of my necklaces. I've been looking for matches forever so this was a great find for me. I do have a teeny tiny obsession with jewelry. :D
  • Eating the best pizza I have ever had in my life at a place called 'Pizza Time'. I swear I would make this trip all over again just to go there for pizza - it was that good. The margharita pizza was superb.
  • Watching fishing charter boats come into the Conch House marina. They were bringing huge fish off of the boats and filleting them right there on the dock.
  • Buying some trinkets to take home to the kiddos. Can't forget them. :D
  • Meeting my hudbands friends and co-workers at 'The Tea Room'. A lovely little open air cafe in the downtown shopping area.
  • Another yummy dinner at Harry's.

All in all it was an incredibly fun yet relaxing day. I had to be forced to return the scooter at the end of the day. :D
