how the other half lives

On Saturday my mother, Steven and I went to Palm Beach. Our plan was to have lunch at the Ritz Calton and then go to Worth Avenue and look around at all the stores where we can't affford anything.

The Ritz was amazing. We sat outside, near the pool and had a yummy lunch. My mother had a turkey BLT, Steven had a panini sandwich and I had mini burgers. The food was delicious and our surroundings were way over the top.

After lunch we hopped in the car and went to Worth Ave. It really is the Rodeo Drive of Florida. There were Bentleys parked all over the place. We even saw a few Rolls Royces. On the way to Worth Ave we passed Donald Trump's place. Once at Worth Ave we weren't disspointed. They had Gucci, Tiffany's, Ralph Loren, Chanel, a million jewelry stores, you name it, it was there. My mother found a cute pair of earrings at Tiffany's, but Steven and I didn't buy anything (lunch was our treat to ourselves). It was a little snooty on that street, but everything was so clean and looked brand new.

What was so amazing to us are all the houses along the beach on A1A as you're driving from Fort Lauderdale to Palm Beach. Every single house has a private beach and a motrgage in the millions. We saw so many mansions that we were wondering who all these people are that can afford such large homes. There were literally thousands of them. It was quite a sight.

If you ever make it to south Florida, be sure to take a drive along A1A to Palm Beach. It is truly how the other half lives.
