The Crazy Travelers repacked their bags and headed south for another Jones wedding. This time, it was Doug, the last, but not youngest of Ray & Bonnie's children.
We spent Friday morning/early afternoon enjoying some of the scenery around Coconut Grove/Coral Gables. After meeting up with Ray & Bonnie's friends, Paul & Paula, we settled on
Monty's for lunch. The weather was perfect for sitting on the deck - cloudless blue skies, nice breezes and big boats in the marina!

The wedding was Friday evening, outside, at the
Biltmore in Coral Gables. Fortunately, the yucky weather from Thursday passed through and left behind nothing but a pleasant evening.
