Back From Vacation

[shipperx]

:
Just in case anyone noticed that I was MIA.

I've been on vacation. Had a nice, lazy time at the beach (as per usual Sandestin, Florida).


Sunset at the Bay


Zoe at Sunset (with me photobombing her)







Great Weather

Sunset at the bay






And me. (Jeez I hate pictures of myself, which is why I sympathize with mom for hating for me to share pics.)

I noticed you were missing.

Boy, that looks like a nice place. Look at that sand!

It may be dubbed the redneck Riviera (which while a putdown, is still a lovely area on the Gulf of Mexico), but it does have wonderful sugar-white sand.

Wow, pretty! We'll be in Florida in December, but it'll probably be too chilly for beach lounging!

You never know. That's the thing about the Florida and the South in December. It can be high seventies and gorgeous or it can be a freezing cold snap... and it can all happen in the space of a week.

After this summer the high seventies would feel like a freezing cold snap. *g*

Compared to temps out West this summer, the seventh ring of hell probably seems temperate.

(Although, truthfully, December frequently has good weather.)

Awwwww, you took your doggie on vacation!

And she never got car sick (poor baby did last year. This year she's not quite 2 and did well.) And actually the extra cleaning deposit to take her is still cheaper than boarding her so it's a win/win.

Very peaceful looking place.

Post-Labor Day it does grow quite quiet around there (and rental rates go down). But, as I tend to like relaxing beach vacations, that works just fine. It's still great weather (high 80s/low 90s) so it's actually quite nice (if quiet).
