Christmas Eve

We spent the morning of Christmas Eve at the beach, of course. It was lovely. I assumed the beach would be more crowded since it was a gorgeous Saturday morning, but it was like our own place. Awesome.
In the afternoon we headed to Tropical Smoothie for lunch. Wow. I love that place. Seriously I could live off smoothies alone.
We headed to Okeechobee to see Grams after our quick lunch (did I mention that I love Tropical Smoothie?!). We have a running joke in our family about not speeding through Indiantown (a little, tiny town that is between West Palm and Okee) because Grandpa ALWAYS chanted it to anyone who visited: "DO NOT SPEED THROUGH INDIANTOWN!" Anyway, as we got to Indiantown I had this conversation with my Mom via text (Jackson typed since I took Oprah's pledge not to text and drive):

Me: Currently NOT speeding through Indiantown

Mom: Good thing! You should NEVER speed through Indiantown! So we have been warned many times...

Me: *sends photo above to guy pulled over by 2 cops* Apparently no one told this guy

Mom: Oops! Not a nice Christmas gift! He must have never met Gramps!!!

I laughed and laughed. Oh man. :)

We got checked into our hotel, washed off the sand and went to get Grams for dinner. We took her to Cowboys- a BBQ place in Okee. They have corn nuggets. Yum. I also made her pose with their sign and she was mortified. She was so afraid I'd post her photo to Facebook. Seriously? Mark Zuckerberg (I just finished reading a book about him- fascinating) could never have imagined a little Grandma fearing her photo being on FB. Jackson quickly stole my phone and posted her photo. Hilarious.
Jackson got his photo taken, too, but was able to avoid a Facebook blast. Grams called me no fun for not getting my photo taken- ha. She doesn't know that the blogger never gets featured. ;) We went back for a little Christmas Eve swim- outside- and then retired for the night. Santa was not able to find us at the hotel- boo hoo. ;):)
