And not so silly things, like the fruit that she effortlessly grows in her yard...

But I have yet to spot one...
And I counted 18 staghorn ferns (Platycerium bifucatum) hanging from my mom's trees. If I would have had the space in my car, I'd have brought one home with me. They are gorgeous! See?
On this first morning, after the rest of the house woke up, we went to one of my sister's go-to Cuban restaurants for a delicious breakfast.
This is standard.

I would have been happy with just a cafe con leche and some Cuban toast with Guava preserves, but this was a little bit of heaven. It's on the the list for things to try out at home for breakfast....
After breakfast, we headed to Ft. Desoto so the guys could fish off the pier and the ladies could hang at North Beach. When we arrived, things were brighter than I recalled...

The Australian pines that shaded this beachy area have been cut down. It was sad to see and I hope the next time we visit that there is more vegetation.
We hung out at the beach for a while...
Then we went to the pier to check in on the guys...
The coolest thing we saw while on the pier were the dolphins trying to take the fishermen's bait or catch.
