One of my favorite things to do when we lived in Florida and would visit Hollywood was go to Hollywood Beach for breakfast. This was something John remembers doing even as a very young kid on his vacations to Florida. There is something amazing about sitting at the open air boardwalk and watching people. There are lots of families, there are even more old men, all leathery walking around with way to little clothing. The thing that always fascinated me were the groups of old Italian men sitting at the restaurants early in the morning smoking their cigars and playing cards. They remind me of retired mobsters, just relaxing away the morning.
We took the kids down to the Hollywood board walk and had pancakes. Then we took the kids down to the beach. Again, they loved the water but there were jellyfish every where - they were manowar jelly fish washed ashore, it looked like the beach had been littered with blue balloons.
