Brunch On The Best Porch Ever!

Sunday brunch to celebrate Larry's birthday 
on the most beautiful porch ever!
 Right on the beach in Ft. Lauderdale. 
A row of rocking chairs just meant for
ocean gazing. Note the blue beadboard
ceiling. I loved every detail of this resort.
(Grand Pelican Beach Resort)
It had a charming old Florida style.
We were there just for the brunch.
It's only a 40 minute drive away.
But a whole vacation state of mind.
The brunch was as delicious as
the view!
 After brunch we spent the afternoon under
blue umbrellas and swam in the
(warm 84 degree) ocean for hours. 
 Isn't this the cutest fruit plate?
 We can't wait to come back for a special
dinner. I love that it's so close to home,
yet a world away....

Cheers!

    I adore porches and think I could spend all day rocking on the one in your photos. That's also one of the cutest fruit plates I've ever seen. Coming to you from The Tablescaper.
