Florida or BUST!

This was our view of the Gulf from our Condo for the last 10 days!  I miss it already!  I've never been a fan of vacationing in the same spot over and over and over...I mean, the world is a pretty big place and there's lots to see!  However, without a doubt, there is something to be said for the opportunity to take 10 days out of the year and do absolutely nothing!  There isn't anything that I need to go do or see...but I can take in a baseball game at Rays Stadium if I want to or go to the Dali museum...do a little, do a lot, or do nothing!  I guess that's the benefit of going to the same place every year!

So anyway, vacation was great...I've hit the recharge button and I feel ready to conquer the day! 

I did finally purchase a new bike on vacation.  We had a day of rain, so we went shopping!  Here's a pic:

This is the Look 695...step up from the 75.  Beyond looking super cool, this bike has the Look name on it 23 times!  Make no doubt what this bike is!  It came complete with the AC Wheels and Shimano Ultegra.  The wheels are nice...they grab a lot of wind on windy days, but should be great otherwise.  The groupo is the only thing I may change over the winter.  I've come to the conclusion that I'm a Campy girl.  This bike came with some monster handlebars so I still need to get those swapped out...but other than that I just need time and some miles and I'm sure this will fulfill all my speed needs!
