Sporty Chic – Day 22
Sporty chic… sporty chic… sporty chic… all I can say is thank god for sporty chic…
Can you imagine Euro chic on an airboat? Or rock and roll? How about Mod? Or even American Classic? Bohemian maybe… But Sporty chic was the perfect choice for this outing. Why?
I was wearing shoes that could get soaked
A skirt with that special quick-drying “sporty” material
Capri leggings for sun protection and for the times (and there were times) when a wall of muddy water flew into the boat and went up my skirt.
And a cute cowboy hat so I could blend in with the hillbilly Everglades gator wrestling natives
Ever since I was a kid I’ve wanted to ride an airboat and yesterday I achieved this somewhat strange childhood dream. And let me tell you – it was awesome! Alligators, snakes, an ear-splittingly loud engine doing 360 turns on wet grass with your kids and not a seatbelt in sight. It just doesn’t get better than that. Actually, it does because at the end of the airboat rides we all ate ice cold “bomb pops” which I’m pretty sure the gator farm had to go back in a time machine to buy…
If you’re ever in Miami, forget the scene at South Beach and head straight to the land of gators and airboats, where people still have mullets and cut their own t-shirts into tank tops. Smoking is a must, but dental work is not…
And don’t forget to pack your favorite sporty chic outfit…
