Sunday Funday

Last weekend was fun.

Sunday after work, Justin and I headed to Borders to take advantage of their going-out-of-business sale. Not only did I score a very informative Cliff's Notes book on Anatomy and Physiology (to go with my newly acquired HESI study guide) for $5, but took home my very own copy of Julie and Julia. I loved that movie and the book was 40% off!

Soon after we jumped in the car and drove over to Ft. Lauderdale to see the Super Moon. What a spectacle! No, not the moon --it was cloudy and we could only see it after it was high in the sky. The beach was so, so packed! There must have been at least a few thousand people, all screaming in unison; there was music blaring from every bar (in)conveniently located on the little sidewalk separating us from the crazy drivers.

Anyway, there was a huge sign commemorating the 100th anniversary of the city of Ft. Lauderdale. We asked a lady to take a picture for us; too bad she only got us and the 2 zeroes. There are so many new restaurants, too! The whole A1A area looks very different and new.
I guess that's what happens when you go to the beach MAYBE three times a year.

Our little outing ended up with a 3-mile walk to a McDonald's which (3 miles after, we realized) ceased to exist years ago, a quick jog back to the car in uncomfortable sandals, and a not-so-super moon.
