Flip Video Fun

I'm loving our new Flip Video. It was especially nice to have in FL since we currently don't have a working camera. Now I wish I had taken more videos of all the cool stuff we did...like the farmer's market, the pool, the harbor, the big band concert, the art fair, bocce ball, fun restaurants with Javon's grandparents (who are in FL for the winter)...but of course I didn't think of it then.

But here are the videos I do have:

I had to include this one because we rode these adorable red bikes everywhere during our week at Marco Island. The island is a pretty small place so we could get to the park, the library, shops, and even to a neigboring fishing village (Goodland). It's like 7 miles away so we had to work up to that bike trip, and it's a good thing we did because we rode back with the wind against us the whole time...no small feat, let me tell you.


This is us after finally arriving, hot and tired, in Goodland. Notice the pitcher of water on the table...our waiter finally just left it there after refilling our glasses for the third or fourth time. So there really isn't much in the town besides this restaurant on the bay and a bunch of fishermen with their little houses and fishing boats. Kind of a cool outing though...especially with the Pina Colada that we splurged on for dessert.


OK, so this proves my point about how little there is to do in Goodland. We resorted to taking videos of the local wildlife...well actually, it was just a few birds. Because the video is so lame, it's actually pretty funny.


And for those of you who love a good sunset, here's one on the beach. Every time I finished taking a video it got even prettier, so it took a few tries...these two are the first and the last one (so you can see the transformation yourself). Even though it was cold and windy, I'm glad we forced ourselves to take a sunset walk on our last night there. We had a great talk huddled under our blanket. That, along with the rest of our glorious week, made for some very good memories.
