WARMTH...& BURNT!

I spent two days sitting by the pool while Howie had to work.
My poor white skin.
Ouch.
BUT
I. Am. Not. Complaining!
I'm warm for the first time since last summer.

I've never been to Florida and have never seen the Atlantic.

We spent the day in South Beach.
It is paradise.
And the water..........

BLUE!!!!
So gorgeous!

I did see a land FOXSHARK.

Can you see the white SHARK hair out there in the deep blue ocean?
"hi sweetheart!"


I would like to take South Beach home with me.

    I LOVE that your feet are sunburned! So funny!
    You know I'm a true Floridian, born and raised and I have to say that I love that you and Howard are there right now! What a way to warm up finally!

    Oh, your footsies look so sunburned. Hope you took along some aloe or something else good for sunburns. I have never been to FL so enjoy enough for me too, ok? Glad you are finally getting warm. Hugs

    It looks so beautiful there! I am so thrilled for you and your hubby! Nothing feels better than the warm sand on your feet - hope you are enjoying lots of good food too.

    Jealous!!! (Don't worry~ I'll stop replying with that word eventually)

    I've been to Florida once & didn't have nearly enough time to explore!

    The ocean looks gorgeous!
    That shark...well... ;)

    Sorry about the sunburn! But glad you are warm & having a wonderful time.

    Don't wash your feet and you WILL bring the beach home with you!

    Aloe Vera works well on that sunburn!

    I can so relate to your comment about being warm for the first time in a year...here too when I go to St. George. I loved the blues there and the sand...have fun with the white haired fox shark! ;D

    I got sunburned too, but from pulling weeds for 6 hours the one day we had enough sun. So not fun like yours. I used to live in Miami, and while I loved the lack of snow in the winter, I did not enjoy the heat and humidity in the summer! Enjoy every second. I'm sure you will.

    No way! I still have sand between my toes and in my hair from a day in the Atlantic Ocean! Luc and I are just down the beach a ways in Charleston, South Carolina. Try some boiled peanuts and hush puppies while you're out here! Yummy to both! The fish is divine and they actually know how to cook it. We can compare sunburns when you get home! Nice!!!!

    I can't believe you didn't offer this as a giveaway. What kind of blogger are you? Nice toes, by the way, and your hubbie is a foxshark. I should know, I have the same animal living here. :)

    Okay--the picture of the foxshark is causing me to giggle out of control. I don't know why. Just something about that little white dot...

    Glad you are having so much fun!
