Pictures from Florida--finally!

Check out the waves! The first day we were there they were amazing!

Those of you who know me won't be surprised that the above picture features birds! They're just so cute! There's no telling how many bird shots I have!

Ah, Florida! The way life was meant to be!

Look at what the crazy waves washed up! No getting in the water today! We could also see big sting rays floating around in the water. This day was spent on the shore--we got to watch a beautiful sunset!

Grr! Byron is looking very manly.

Me laughing, because we are at our third Timeshare Seminar since we've been married. I think we have the word, "Sucker" written on our foreheads. Actually, I'm also laughing because we just signed Scott Turner up to receive phone calls from the timeshare place in order to score ourselves a travel candle. Sweet!

In case you haven't been to the whole timeshare extravaganza, one thing you should know is that, even if you keep saying, "no," at the end, you'll get free stuff! We got two $50 gift cards to restaurants--one of them being this one! YUMMY! It was right on the ocean! We also get to come back for a three night vacation later this year!
We even match and everything!
As you can see, we had about as much fun playing with our food as we did eating it! Can you guess whose meal is who's?


An absolutely perfect day at the beach! I read a book and napped in my fancy chair, and Byron worked on his Sudoku book. In between, we took swims in the Gulf Waters! They are so beautiful!

Here's our Big Red made out of white sand! We wish we had a red towel!! We'll only bore you with this one picture. I think we have like 30. Seriously. Big Red with Byron, Big Red with Susie, Big Red with Sea Gull, Big Red with little surfer dude....well, you get the idea.

Watching the sunset is one of my favorite things to do! Very romantic!

This is the other place we got the $50 gift card to--thank you Wyndham Resorts!

For dessert, they served make-your-own smores! This is a great idea. So fun and so yummy!
Getting ready for a moonlight stroll on the beach! We saw a heron and a sea turtle, but the pictures are too dark to show you!

Another beautiful day!

We went to lunch at a beach restaurant called the Back Porch--you could go in your swimsuit! Here's a picture of our chairs from the Back Porch!

On our way home, we stopped at one of the National Beaches--we saw lots of cool things. The neatest thing, though is what we didn't see (trash, etc.). It was a great ending to our trip!

You can hardly see it, but in this picture is a white (albino??) crab. So awesome. If you can't make it out, just know it's there. Trust us.

We had a great time! Next time, join us! :0)
