Feeling the need for a Saturday outing, I suggested we tour Pier Park.
Although we've been there a number of times, we've never browsed the 124 shops that include JC Penney, Target and Dillards.
The buildings are painted in tropical pastel colours and the detail of one store caught my attention.
We stopped at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville Restaurant for lunch, and no, I didn't have a Margarita - much to John's surprise!
Later, we spotted the Grinch and one of Santa's helpers.
I still can't equate the holiday season with palm trees, but I'm workin' on it! One final note. Today is our daughter's birthday. We wish her all the best and send out love. Hugs!
