Saturday - another beautiful day. We packed again and headed out to Miami but first we had to drop "Rocket" at the doggie spa and kennel. Steve and Denyse's first dog and first away trip without him. Big time stuff ! Across Alligator Alley to Miami was smooth sailing - traffic was light and the company good, We stopped to visit Denyse's sister, Paulette, in North Miami on the beach. Nice spot and great beach with the huge waves rolling in. We continued down to South Beach to have lunch and experience the atmosphere of that part of Miami. Found our hotel which overlooked a race track and casino and could see the Sunlife Stadium down the road. The pizza man making a delivery to the hotel gave us a drive to the stadium (for $'s of course) as the shuttle line was huge. Into the Paul McCartney concert we went along with 40,000 of our "closest friends".Some of them were having great tailgate parties. It is an open air stadium and we had seats on the floor relatively close to the stage. It was a great 2 1/2 hr show of singing with no intermission - lighting, video shows, a drummer who was a show in himself, the crowd, the atmosphere. It was great. A few songs, the bass so a bit loud and our old bodies could feel the vibrations. Could have done without those but he put on a great show - lots of old songs, new songs, other artists songs. No costume changes, just guitar and piano changes. When we got out the line for taxis was huge and not moving so we walked the 2 miles. Felt safe the whole time as there were policemen every 1/4 mile. And the limos, every shape, length and colour.It was 12:30 by the time we hit the sack.
Happy Easter. Sunday up early as my Blackberry switched over to "daylight savings time" but I figured out pretty quickly that it was too dark outside for 8am. Checked my phone and TV and they were both saying 7am. Back to bed for another hour. When I got up, they were doing a morning run on the horse track. Pretty neat to stand on the balcony and watch them train. We were back in Bonita Springs by 11am to pick up Rocket from his sleepover but I don't think he slept much last night as that is all he has been doing today. Arrived at the Dow's to discover the Easter Bunny had visited. Just what we all need - chocolate. Relaxing afternoon and then headed out to dinner with Denyse and Steve's friends Gerry and Christian. Delicious dinner (peppered steak) and great company. tried to watch the movie Foot Locker but we all fell asleep.
