Fort Lauderdale Day 2 -- Apr. 18th

We slept in this morning and took our time getting ready. Today was just going to be about relaxing. We went to a little Cajun type joint down on the A1A overlooking Fort Lauderdale beach. Then we went to the beach and laid out for a couple of hours. This beach was awesome, just what I pictured Florida beach scenes to be like. Gorgeous women all over, especially Latinas. Everyone was laid out together and having fun, lots of palm trees, the street just behind us with people playing their music loud, and crazy cool characters all over. The Monster energy drink truck pulled up and gave away free drinks for like 5 minutes, and it was just cool and relaxing. Then we came back to the house, I blogged, watched some basketball, napped and showered.

Just kinda wanted this day to be relaxing and easy, so we decided to just chill for the night. Joy, Dana, and myself picked a place called Crabby Jack's and got a table on the deck. The menu looked good, and I had a grouper reuben, the waitress said that's what she had that night, so I trusted her opinion. It was really good. Dana recognized a football player, and said he thought Santana Moss was sitting at the bar. I looked over, and it was Plaxico Buress! I of course had my camera with me and made up my mind to go over and say hello. I waited until he was finished with his food, I hear that is one of the biggest pet peeves of celebrities, being interrupted while they eat, so I waited, and went over. Some redneck was talking his ear off when I got over there, so I just stood there for a minute and waited my turn. The bouncer made the guy leave and I just told him I thought he was great and enjoyed watching him play, and I asked if he and his lady friend wanted to do a shot with me. They agreed and she wanted tequila, but Plax said Jager, so that's what I got. We took the shot and I asked if I could get a picture with him, he said he didn't want to do it right then, but to wait until he was leaving. He probably didn't want to attract any more attention, I figured. So I went back to my table and we finished our dinner and had a couple drinks. I saw Plax get up to leave, and just sat tight. He came over to my table, gave me a handshake/five thing, and said to come down to the parking lot for a picture. His lady friend snapped it and they hopped on a little white moped and left. It was pretty cool. We finished our drinks and went to Dana's for a minute, watched most of Superbad, then we went back to Joy's, I watched a little TV, and crashed. I think I left my glasses at Bill's in St. Augustine, cause I couldn't find them, hopefully he does.
