The rest of our adventures in Ft. Lauderdale

Friday night we went to dinner at Chima's Steakhouse.  It's another Brazilian restaurant and it was yummy!  I still think I like the Texas de Brazil better.

 

 

Saturday after we left Flamingo Gardens, we went to a little burger joint for lunch.  It was called Le Tub's.  I had wanted to go to Gilbert's, but someone on the fishing trip told Shawn about Le Tub's.  It was good.

Wouldn't it be fun to live on a palm tree lined street?

 



 

Here is our little rental car.  It was a Chevy Cruz.  It WAS little!

Saturday evening on our way out to the pool we saw a cruise ship go by!

Brrr...it was cold out there in the evening when you were wet out of the pool!

 

The weekend we were in Ft. Lauderdale, they were having the Rock the City Tortuga Music Fest.  From our resort, we could hear some of the concert and see all the boats out listening to the music.

 

Yeah, I'm sunburned!

 

 

Lago Mar Resort and Spa

While in Ft. Lauderdale, we stayed at the Lago Mar Resort and Club...a fancy 4 star resort.  We had a nice executive, king suite that overlooked one of the pools and had a view of the ocean if the wind was blowing and the palm tree parted in just the right direction :(

 

 

 

 

 

They even had fancy robes for us to wear...this is the only time I had it on though :/

Doing our own things today...

On Friday we did our own thing.  Shawn went deep sea fishing and I went to the spa and spent the rest of the afternoon at the beach.  Shawn was disappointed in his fishing trip - they didn't do the style of fishing he thought they were, he didn't catch any fish, he got sick and had to go overboard, and he got locked in the bathroom.  Me, on the other hand, had a pleasantly enjoyable day :)  I spent the morning at the spa getting a facial.  I got the Luminous C and Sea Facial.  It was 75 minutes of pure relaxation.  I'll definitely be getting facial more often!  After the facial, I walked out to see the ocean/beach and inquire how the beach service worked.  I went back to the room, changed into my swimsuit/cover up, gathered my beach stuff, and headed back out to the beach.  I spent the next almost 5 hours laying out under the umbrella.  Note to self: you still need sunscreen under an umbrella :/

For dinner that night we went to Chima Brazillian Steakhouse.  We were going to go to the Texas de Brazil, but someone highly recommended Chima's to Shawn.  It was yummy!

Flamingo Gardens

On Saturday, while we were in Ft. Lauderdale, we went to Flamingo Gardens.  When I first learned we were going to Ft. Lauderdale, I had googled some things to do, and FG was top of the list.  I contemplated back and forth about going or just staying at the resort and enjoying the beach.  I'm glad we went, we had a good time.  Here is a link to Flamingo Gardens.
