Winter in Florida
Saturday morning up early and take a drive to Clearwater for the Coffee & Cars show hosted by the DuPont Registry. Lot of exotics, but a lot of Vettes
Next, meet up with 18 other Vettes from Corvettes Anonymous for a drive down the St. Pete coastline to the pier for lunch. Belly full, take an afternoon cruise home. Sun filled skies with temps in the upper 70's ya gotta love winter
Sunday Morning, up and head south this time to Ft Myers for a Corvette show presented by Southwest Florida Corvette Show.
Nice cars great folks then a early evening cruise home. Again bright and sunny with more temps in the 70's.
Well back to work tomorrow

I've seen a few already, real early. Last year they weren't bad, so will probably pay this year.

Here is a photog from Saturday's adventure. It doesn't even come close to doing justice for all the great cars that were at DuPont Saturday morning.

Rainy and cold here today. Oh well, just another winter day in the midwest. Living in Florida has some advantages.
