I walked off the plane in Tampa, Florida at least two hours late and he was right there waiting at the end of the walkway for me, with a big ole smile and kiss. I have never been so happy to see someone EVER! We left the airport and went to Denny's and had a early breakfast and headed back to his place for some much needed alone time and sleep before we headed out across Florida to Daytona Beach. Upon waking we loaded up the car and headed for our first stop. It is a small town named Micanopy, Florida. It is the town where the movie Doc Hollywood was filmed. We wandered around the town and in and out of many small stores bought several items to have shipped to my home. Had some lunch and headed out on our way.
We checked into room 333 at The Conch House in Daytona Beach, we changed into our swimsuits and hit the salt water pool and took a small stroll on the beach. Then it was back to our room to shower, and dress for dinner at Maria Bonita's Mexican Restaurant. The food was awesome, the company was amazing and the Margarita's were flowing. Once we returned to our room we walked down the beach in the moonlight to the boardwalk, where I had my first funnel cake. It was very good and definitely not on my diet. We then strolled to the end of the pier and just sat watching the waves come in, smelling the sea air, and talking about our future. As we started walking back toward the hotel our song "Cowboy and Angels" came on over the boardwalk speakers and we danced right there on the shore with the water lapping at our feet.
The next morning we were up early to get me to the airport for my return trip to Las Vegas. This goodbye was harder than the last but, Steve will be here in December to accompany me to my work Christmas Party. I am counting the days!
