POP-ular destination!

Here are a few pics from our vacay in sunny Florida. Dodging raindrops, we still had a great time!

 view from room, sunny mornings!
 mmm, mmm, good!
(Ford's garage)

 birds let me get close, didn't seem to mind...
 the feet shot on the morning walk
 boys got water-logged at pool, nice it wasn't crowded!
 Steamin' Oyster Brewery! 
my favorite part! I got to meet fellow CQ author,
Jamie Ayers! Talking shop and shopping!
Then, we both got to see Shrek, the Musical.
Incredible happy coincidence!! Awesome show!
I shot this video because it was amazing to watch... Nature is awesome!

And I was inspired to write this poem while I was there...

We Are Waves

Pushing to reach
High on the beach
Then we fall back
As more waves attack

I want to be
A tsunami
Not just abide
Washed up in low tide

Hope your summer (or whichever season you are in) is going well. Can't believe school starts in less than a month! Have a great weekend!

  6. I was in Florida in April. I loved walking on the beach every morning. One afternoon, I shot a video of a crab digging a hole in the sand. It was awesome to watch.

  11. Ha! Ford's garage. I don't recall the burgers looking like that in an authentic Ford garage... Maybe we should talk to the franchise manager!

    It looks like you had an absolute blast.
