Fun around town

In Florida there are many ways to dress your body. The most common is oils and lotions, but a clever, adventurous mind can find many, many alternatives. Some choices come with instructions and warnings. Some do not. For your benefit, I'll include those with the choices we found. . .

This is a Cabela's sport/fishing shirt which Kelly says retails for at least $60. We found it a "Adopt a Cat" "Thrift" for $3. Don't wear this, but do buy it for your avid fisher-husband to wear in-style and in budget. (We made Kelly model this and sent the pic to Mike for his approval before purchase.)

This tree is poisonous. It's bark, leaves, roots, everything is poisonous. The park tour phamplet cautioned tourists to not stand under it during rain. Now that's poisonous! You wonder though, if it's so darn lethal, why plant it next to a walkway to the beach? I dunno.

This outfit is NOT poisonous, per se. But I'd be darned if I wanted to be near someone that was wearing it, especially during rain. Claudia said she went to thrift shops looking for something that made her business suits "pop". I'd say this would make you "pop!" Fur sleeves in Florida. Orange polyester pant suit in Florida. Pop.

Sequins are always a fashionable choice when it comes to tropical wear. Who wouldn't want to wear shorts that weigh 10 pounds and have a nice aqua-marine mermaid pattern?

This tree was called the "Tourist Tree." We found it on our walk through McArthur State Park, just down the road from our hotel. Kelly and I couldn't really figure out the meaning behind it's name. Kelly left me for a few minutes to find a bathroom and I wandered back to this tree to contemplate it. Tourist Tree... Tourist Tree... Hmmm.

Then I started laughing. My brain finally kicked in. (It's been lagging a bit lately, as evidenced in my earlier footwear post.) Tourists. Too much sun. Too little sun screen. A tree with red, peeling bark. HaHaHa!

Now you know just a little of what NOT to wear when you visit Florida!
