I was looking through some pictures from the mid to late 80s the other night when I came across pictures I had digitized, we didn't have digital cameras back then. The pictures brought back memories of the summer vacations we took in Lauderdale. The stories over that time period have been combined into one feature.
I should also add I was a bit naΓ―ve back then. But I did manage to land a drop-dead gorgeous wife, one of only a few girlfriends in my high school years.
We were both still young and learning new things about each other and I learned a lot while on vacation in Ft. Lauderdale.
She was raised by her military father and a very conservative mom in a Southern Baptist household. We dated through her last two years of high school and then married as soon as she finished her two years of college on the other side of the state.
She was gorgeous with long wavy blonde hair, a great active-looking body with big natural-looking "C" breasts, and a bit more than a full handful. They were topped with big half-dollar-sized pink nipples. She's in the picture in my profile.
I was slowly discovering she liked to show off her boobs by wearing tube tops, loose tops like halters or strings holding them in place, and men's ribbed tank top tee shirts when it was warm outside.
There were signs when we first started dating, but I was too dumb to realize it, I enjoyed her adventurous ways. With encouragement, she wore bras less and less when she wasn't going to work, church, or to her parents.
She had cropped several of her tank tops to show off her bare tummy and swaying boobs, I liked the hint of nipples barely showing through. Like I said above, she was almost always braless when we were out and about shopping, at bars, parties with friends, traveling for out-of-town visits, camping, or trail-riding events. If she wore a bra I usually talked her out of it after a few drinks. She definitely had the body for it.
Something I later learned in life about women, most are closet exhibitionists, they just don't want to admit it.
At home, in the woods, and on trips, I eventually got her to start flashing her boobs for the camera, but only when no one else was around.
I also learned a while after we got married that she had completed college bar contests to earn extra money for her living expenses. Tight jeans, bikini contests, wet T-shirt, sexy Halloween, lingerie, and a bare-as-you-dare where she won second place.
She told me her outfit was a string around her waist, very low on her hips, with a small loose flap of scrap material draped over the string in the front and a long narrow hair tie scarf for a top that didn't stay in place, it ended up around her waist. She said she was desperate and really needed to win to pay her bills and for gas money.

The first time it really hit me that she liked to be seen while going from the Gulf in Florida to Fort Lauderdale on a vacation a year or so after we had gotten married. She was in her early twenties at the time fresh out of college, I was six years older than her but she was the more mature one.
We had been scuba diving near Crystal River looking for Manatees, checking out the springs and grottos around Gainesville and Crystal River. After a few days of diving, we headed across Florida on State Highway 41.
She had been napping like women do while we guys drive and I started slowly pulling her fluffy white cotton skirt up over her thong panties that were not covering her ass at all.
She kept sleeping so I kept pulling it higher until it was to her waist. Then when a truck passed us and slowed down I realized other people could also see her sexy ass and panties.
Several truckers slowed to look down into our car, oddly I was enjoying letting them see her. I knew I should have covered her up but it was a bit exciting seeing her barely covered ass exposed to strangers.
I also noticed she was smiling pretending to sleep. Nothing was said and I just kept rubbing her thigh and ass until we hit 95 and headed North to Lauderdale by the Sea. That was when she sat up and tugged her skirt down.
After unpacking in Lauderdale we went exploring riding down to Hollywood to check out the dive shops and charters hoping to do a few dives the next day or that week and to top off our dive tanks.
Afterward, we grabbed a bite to eat for a late lunch at a resort on the beach near the dive shop. Lunch was quick and easy, with nothing to write home about. I only remember it because of what happened on the way to the car.
We were leaving via the semi-enclosed breezeway that was open towards the ocean across the back of the resort. There was a slight ocean breeze blowing through as we exited the front door that lifted her skirt. She quickly pushed it down, laughing as she flashed her thighs up to her panties. I remember laughing and telling her "Nice ass!"
Then a few feet later as we passed the big windows of the dining and billiard areas of the bar, the wind caught her skirt again. This time the light cotton skirt she was wearing ended up above her waist.
I was a few steps behind her and just watched in amazement as she made no effort to push it down this time. She looked back at me with her cute evil grin and her eyes cut toward me. She seemed to be enjoying the guys only feet away seeing her panties through the glass.
Kidding I told her, "If you are enjoying doing that you should stop wearing panties this trip!"
She just laughed at me like it was something she could never do, I figured that was the end of all that.

We got up early one morning to drive to Hollywood for the charter we reserved to do our offshore dives. While waiting for everyone to board and stow their gear a rather large pleasure craft was cruising the ICW with several young ladies laying out on the bow. The guys all watched them as they did the "woohoo" thing to get people's attention then two of them lifted their bikini tops flashing us their boobs, much to our apprehension.
"You should start doing that!" I told my young wife, more wishful thinking. A few guys near us heard me and smiled at her standing there in her bikini. That was all I said letting her know I approved of her being more adventurous. She just did the eye roll thing.
I should add her bikini was just an average bikini with a bit of a Rio cut bottom on her hips to show off a little extra of her young butt cheeks. The top was just the typical triangle-type top with the material held in place with strings behind her back and neck. She filled out the top triangles quite well indicting onlookers with her cleavage pushed together and out the center.
For the first dive, she had chosen to wear a dive skin so she wouldn't be cold. After about ten minutes on the bottom, she told me she was going back to the boat to take it off, it was too hot. She wasn't gone long and returned without it, wearing just her bikini.
She told me later between dives the captain and the crew member helped her, she giggled saying it felt fun letting them strip it off her. Telling me her bottoms almost came all the way off with the dive skin. I didn't bother to ask how far they came off, not wanting to embarrass her. But I was disappointed I missed it.
The guys on the dive boat were great helping the ladies back onto the dive boat. Telling them to just unbuckle the BC and they would pull it up off their backs and up onto the boat. Also taking their fins, masks, and weight belts in the slightly choppy water.
It was our third and final dive, I kept watch on her boobs pushed together and out the center of her BC. Her bikini top was a little loose, if you understand the compression factor at depth you will understand.
Wanting to help her play her new game, I gently untied the bow behind her neck knowing her hands would be full when she exited the water at the back of the boat.
At the end of the dive I helped her remove her gear passing it up to the crew. Then she unbuckled her BC belt and shoulder straps like she had the three previous times, once to remove the dive skin.
When the guy pulled her BC over her head, she didn't realize it at first but her top dropped away flashing everyone at the back of the boat. She was unable to grab her top floating around in the water until she stepped onto the dive platform.
She got a bit of applause from everyone while she held her top up and pulled her hair from her face. I was only able to watch from behind her, still hanging onto the ladder, but it was obvious her top was completely hanging down briefly.
Then on the way back in, she was wearing her white tank top t-shirt over her bikini. I suggested she take her bikini top off from under the shirt. Mind you, where the bikini was had become wet and a bit see-through.
She just grinned and said, "Untie me if you want me to."
I didn't hesitate and pulled her strings loose reaching under the back, then she pulled it up the neck hole in the front. Sure enough, we all got to see her now relaxed nipples through the wet shirt.
I was really starting to enjoy showing off my wife to strangers. It was exciting to me knowing they could see her nipples but couldn't touch them. I wanted to suggest the bottoms as well but figured that would be a bit much.

That same evening was a trip next door to the Candy Store for munchies, drinks, and dancing. I remember her wearing the loose long-sleeved white sundress with buttons from the waist up. The lightweight dress was about mid-thigh in length on her darkening shin. Like me, she has to tan slowly having a lot of English/Irish heritage in our lineage.
