Getting ready to explore Ft Lauderdale

Gotta gear up with some breakfast at the Embassy Suites

We had about 30 minutes left before checkout. I couldn't get these monkeys motivated!!!

We were able to meet up with my sister and her family at the hotel and hang out for the evening.
On Sunday, they headed for their vacation destination - a cruise to the islands, leaving from Miami.

We decided to follow Maria's lead and spend our day riding the water taxi around Ft. Lauderdale.
It was cloudy and not a great day for the beach, but a great day to enjoy the intercoastal and all of the views of mansions and slightly expensive yachts. We were able to get on and off the water taxi all day as we pleased, so we took in quite a bit of scenery!
