What I'm really lusting for is an epic cross-country road trip(a la Kerouac). Until that can happen, I'm finding tasty appetizers for my insatiable wanderlust.
Yesterday we got in the car and just drove. No particular direction in mind. The sun was out, clouds were few, and it was crisp, but not cold.
The first stop was the Aero Toy Store, a showroom of revamped vintage and luxury vehicles. It's not somewhere I would think to stop, but I really enjoyed myself. The cars were pretty impressive, even for someone who is not that into cars. The store was playing oldie stations, perhaps to make the cars feel more at home, and I couldn't help but feel very sunny and cheerful. My favorite car was a classy little jag convertible, white, but not too white, with a tan interior.
Our next stop was the beach in Boca. I'm not sure what beach, but it was just off a1a. The sand was very fine and sugary and felt good beneath my feet. I admired the people swimming. I was in two sweaters and barely warm enough. Must be Canadian. Or crazy.
We kept driving, and found the Sundy House, Del Ray Beach's first mayor's abode, now a B&B and historical sight. From the outside, it's hard to tell what one is seeing. Step inside, and you step into another world. It is old Florida at it's finest- lush, colorful, and corky- a visual delicacy. They are famous for their Sunday brunch, which I have been to in the past. It is pricey, but so worth it for special occasions. Mimosas are included!
