Christmas 2010 Everglade park
Christmas 2010 with the family
This year, we went to Naples, Florida. Brian and I had been hoping it would be really warm in Florida since it is in the South. Well, we were wrong. They had a freak freezing below average Christmas. The windows were all frosted with NO ice scraper. The airboat ride was so cold. This is the fourth vacation in a row that we have had unseasonably cold weather.
It all started in Dominican Republic. The first day was too hot for me and I asked for just a few days of cool weather for me to adjust. The weather dropped 20 degrees, the humidity disappeard and it rained for 5 days. Then in Galapagos, I was afraid of overheating in my thick wetsuit so I hoped it wouldn't be too hot. The water was unseasonably cool in the mid 60s and lower. There wasn't a single sunny day to heat our black wetsuits. In Seattle I thought, I want to go snow showing in the mountains. I didn't expect us to have a freak blizzard accumulating inches in snow that stopped traffic for over 5 hours. So... this last trip this year, I thought, what could go wrong? It can't be that cold in Florida. WRONG! I'm starting to think I bring a chill with me everywhere I go.
