First impressions of Florida

Though I’ve visited Florida when I was younger, I had almost no memory of it. At the end August I was delighted to get the chance to go on a 2 week vacation with le bf to join his parents at their summer house in Wellington, Florida.

Pretty lights :D

Impressive lights :D

The weather was more hot and humid then I’ve expected. It was a nice change though, the perfect temperature for going to the beach and swimming outside, in my opinion. I enjoyed the tropical climate, with all the palm trees and little lizards running around everywhere, which I found very fascinating :D

These little guys are everywhere in Florida!

During our stay in Wellington, le bf and I tried our best to go to the nearby community center to exercise in an attempt to not gain too much weight from eating so well in restaurants all the time.

For dinner on the night after we arrived in Florida, we went on a 2 hour yacht cruise on Delray Beach for dinner.

Most of the houses I saw in Florida were nice, spacious and often with a big swimming pool. Everyone seems to be super relaxed and on vacation mode. Not a bad place to plan for one’s retirement, in my opinion :P
