I just returned from a wedding in Florida.
Florida is a state on the East Coast of the
US.
Maryland is in the middle of the eastern
US.
Florida is the most southern state on the
East Coast.
A former student had her wedding party in
the Vero Beach Hotel and Spa.
Here is a link to the hotel web site:
http://www.verobeachhotelandspa.com/
If you click on "photos" in the
left-hand list, you can see many pictures of the hotel.
It was a wonderful party in a wonderful
place!
My daughter, Kate, went with me.
The wedding was Friday.
On Saturday we spent time on the beach, in
the hot tub, shopping and eating.
We flew back today (Sunday).
It was great to see my former student.
She was a beautiful bride.
