Friday - February 24

Allie and Owen arrived at 10:15 and with the girls in the front (me driving) and guys in back, we set off on a little car trip....since Mark is usually driving, he wanted to sit back and take in all the sites. 

We drove downtown to see some of the damage remaining from Ian - boats toppled on top of one another and businesses still closed.    Then to the Barbara Mann Theater for tickets to see Million Dollar Quarter later in March.    We had so much fun and enjoyed Pretty Woman immensely last night, so decided (even though we've all seen this musical) to get tickets and another reason to get together!   

 Off to Fort Myers Beach and that sobering drive which hasn't changed much from the 1st time we did this trek back in January with Anne and the boys (my 3rd trip and 4th for Mark).    Allie took several pics and videos and of course, they were amazed at all the destruction.

Stopped at Junkanoo which was destroyed by Ian, but recently reopened at new location on the back bay.     All outside seating along the water and really good food.

Delicious lunch

And then our tour continued all the way along Estero, to Bonita Springs and on home taking Imperial to I-75.    Said our good byes and hugs and happy birthday wishes to Owen who will be 80 on March 4th.

We went for a walk around 6:15 - very still and humid out!

Happy weekend!
