On December 28th we visited friends in beautiful Delray Beach, Florida. What we expected to be a rainy day visited turned into a beautiful day for walking the streets and visiting the beach. Friends John and Lisa Barrett and their son, Mitchell, gave us an awesome tour of the highlights of Delray, including a 100′ Christmas tree in the town square. The tree is gorgeous on the outside and offers a unique experience to visitors – inside the tree is a little village that houses vintage stores and a vintage telephone beach (the fourth picture below is taken inside the tree, looking up). After a walk to the local beach, John and Lisa introduced us to the town’s best margaritas at El Camino, a popular watering hole that was standing room only, despite Ken’s attempt to steal a table for us. Later they taught us to two new games, Stick Stacks and the Monopoly card game. In the photos below you see John attempting to beat us at Stick Stacks (and losing!). It’s a fun, fast-paced game that’s like a combination of Pick Up Sticks and Janga. We ended the night with a traditional round of Mexican Train. A really great day! Thanks, John, Lisa and Mitchell!!
