Working Vacation in Florida

Hi all!  We've been in Florida the past week, working on some projects for the family's house and enjoying a respite from the frozen tundra (aka, the Catskills).  While Casey and I are here, we are working on fixing his dad's pickup truck, doing some plumbing and electrical work on the house, and possibly even pouring a cement pad if we can find time.  Casey's grandparents are also down in the sunshine state, and they have been graciously trying to encourage the vacation aspect of our trip.  Casey and his grandfather are planning a boating escapade down the Indian River, and yesterday we took a drive to the only dog-friendly beach in the county.  There were so many people and dogs!  Sprocket was a little overwhelmed at first -- he'd never been to the ocean or a dog park before -- but after Casey took him running through the surf a couple times, he decided he loved it.

I hope we can go there again before we head out to Texas!
