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!

This post makes me want to go back to Florida! We haven't been there for years. How cool that you were able to meet another CQ author! It sounds like you had a great time.

Happy weekend. :)

Nothing I love more than the beach. You're so right, nature is awesome!

So glad you had a great time and also got to meet Jamie, what fun.

Any time there are burgers and fries, that's a good time!

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.

I can't wait to go to the beach! I'm going to the Outer Banks with my husband's family. That was a neat video; I LOVE the sound of the ocean!!

Happy reading and writing! from Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines

The food is calling me. Ahem, glad you had fun on your vacay Tara and thanks for all the pictures. Oh and I'm glad you liked the blog award.

Rena said...

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.

Hi Tara .. how lovely to meet up with Jamie - fun to have a good banter about life as bloggers etc ..

Looks like the family had a good time - and the oyster catchers are great to see ... beautiful birds!

Cheers Hilary
