Spring Break March 2021

(Pictures starting with #1 upper left!) Pictures #1 & 11--if nothing else the Spring Breakers should feel comfortable in the bikinis and Speedos with the daytime afternoon temperatures in the 80s--I learned a long time ago to not go to the beach area this time of the year. All is not well in Miami Beach where the Spring Breakers are getting wild--pictures # 3, 9, 10 & 12--and all we can hope is that they don't move from Miami Beach to Fort Lauderdale Beach! The week before the 'celebration' we had another negative story about Florida--#8--which really wasn't news to Floridians though for now most of the hate groups are in the North and middle parts of the State! On a fun note it seems my friends in Maine took a wrong turn and their boat Semper Fi --#6 and 7--is parked outside my building! Last, but not last, I treated myself for Spring Break first having a cheeseburger at IHOP--#5--and at night I grilled a T-Bone on my George Foreman grill and for dessert a slice of a very good piece of Carrot cake from Winn-Dixie--#4--so though the Speedo might be a bit tight I don't go to the Berach anyway! LOL Hope YOU aren't getting too rambunctious during Spring Break!

On the evening news it shows the spring breakers misbehaving terribly in Miami. Steak sounds yummy.

I avoid Spring Break because I am too old at age 59 to be seen doing nutty things on a beach.

Last time I was at Spring Break was in the 1950s--and even then I was too old for it!

Nope I am actually hating how the spring has started. Cold, wet and windy.

I need a break from the cold brisk wind and rain, I cannot wait for the temps to hear up here in my part of Florida, Your cheeseburger and T-Bone sound delicious, I cannot wait when we have normal temps and I will go walking on the beach, Enjoy the rest of spring break,

The kids do get too wild on spring break sometimes. I don't blame you for avoiding the beach at that time. We don't like to schedule vacation. I think you did great with your food choices for celebration!!

@kareng we are having a 'change' in weather--a 'cold' wave--that means temps in the 70s!

Spring breakers was our reason never to come to Florida during this time of the year, noisy, rude, not polite... good luck there.

Sounds like my spring break up in the northeast is much quieter than yours. Although I do remember the wild partying from my college spring break days. A rite of passage among college students I guess.

I hope the spring breakers behave down there. Keep them straight. Have been seeing them in the news, as expected. The carrot cake sure sounds good. I always used to get pancakes at IHOP and have not been in years. Thanks for the smiles.

They are starting an 8 PM curfew down in Miami which is putting Fort Lauderdale on edge! I love IHOP for a cheese omelet and a stack of pancakes!

@GreatMartin I hope nothing bad happens. I did read some news this morning. Omelettes are so good.
