Boat Show

Yesterday we went to the Miami Boat show. We haven't been in a few years so we were quite surprised to see that the boating industry is alive and recovering after the economic downturn. Of course we were looking for the latest gadgets but came away almost empty handed. Only a Wine cicle caugh Debi's eye. It looks like an icicle with a cork on the end that you put in the freezer and slip in your bottle of wine after you've opened it and poured your first glass. It's suppose to keep the wine cold, We will see.

Anyway this is our first solo effort at trying to get the blog to workwith pictures so here it goes!!
