Topless

The Thunderbird hasn't had its top off for almost a year, and it seemed that Tuesday was the day to take the top off and go for a long drive up Indian River Road to Fort Pierce and back down Hutchinson Island. But, before that, I headed out to Cross Fit with my friend Ernie, who has been rehabilitating his surgically repaired right shoulder there, and just trying to get into better physical condition. I learned some good exercises that I can do on the road without any equipment.

We got home from Cross Fit about 10am, and Elaine and I then took off the top of the Thunderbird and hit the road about 11am. The drive up Indian River Road was very scenic....Elaine drove and I enjoyed the scenery...something I don't get to do as much when I am driving the Newell. I think I even dozed off one time for a few minutes, but it was that kind of a day. We got to Fort Pierce little after Noon, and found a nice park at South Jetty Beach to have our picnic lunch that Elaine had prepared. The water here at South Jetty Beach is amazingly clear, and it made me wish I had brought my snorkel and fins.


I called "shotgun" for this trip

Crystal clear water.....where is my snorkel?

The drive back south on Hutchinson Island was just as enjoyable as the drive up, but by the time we got "home" I was ready for a nap, so Elaine dropped me off, and headed out to shop for a new bathing suit.

That was our Tuesday.....kind of laid back, but just the kind of day I was looking forward to. Thanks for stopping by!
