What is the weather like there? It is raining a bit off and on here-predicted to continue the same the next couple of days-it has cooled things off to the mid-80’s too, which is nice...

Rain on and off. We just got back from the Florida panhandle yesterday where it was stormy every day except Friday. Can’t plan for weather, so we went to the beach every day anyway.

sorry to hear you had rain, we have experienced disappointing FL weather also, most recently in January when it was 50 degrees there and we were snowed out of DC. can’t be helped or planned for, but disappointing nonetheless, hope you enjoyed the time away at least.
