all is merry and bright

12-22
song of the day: 'here comes santa claus'
today we went down a bit south to eat at a fun place called 'no name pub'. there are dollar bills everywhere, on the ceiling and lining the walls. apparently, it's like a thing to write something on a dollar and then staple it up to leave your mark. there was an article in the bathroom (funny) that people have left about 65,000 bills! i would have added my own had i any cash on me.
then on the way back to the house we stopped at this little spot. in the background are some ruins of the flagler railroad that at one time linked miami with key west. then a huge hurricane ripped through the area in the mid 1930s and demolished a great deal of the tracks. my father in law loves history like this so he wanted to stop so we could take pictures. then we had key lime pie.
you know, it doesn't feel like christmas. i'm having a blast, but i'm no longer in the holiday spirit. it's kinda sad in a way. hopefully it'll come back soon. i mean, it's almost christmas!!

I have that same shirt and it's my favorite! It's so comfy!

I do love the stripes with the floral! And yes, I do hope the holiday spirit comes back to you soon! I was once in Hawaii for Christmas and it was weird not being home. Though now, I would DEFINITELY take a warm vacation!! It is rain rain rain here!
