Fort Lauderdale

Bob flew in for a little vacation and to help us move Foreign Affair to Key West.  We spent the day re-provisioning, doing laundry, showering and wandering about the downtown riverfront.  We toured the Fort Lauderdale History Center which consists of the New River Inn and King-Cromartie House which are among the oldest buildings in Fort Lauderdale.  We were fortunate enough to have a private tour and the docent was exceptionally informative.  We had dinner at the Pirate Republic Bar and Grill which was on the river just across from Cooley's Landing Marina.  While there, we saw our first manatees.  There were at least three to include a mother and baby.  Needless to say, it was an unexpected surprise and quite exciting.  Dinner was great but the drinks were expensive.  Still. a good time since we are on vacation.
