Beaches...

Well, I was going to catch up yesterday on blogland but my grand plan was foiled by blogger. I couldn't post anything after my Top 3 post nor could I leave comments on anyone elses blog! :( Blogger was NOT playing nice ...... so I'm going to do this post real quick and then I have to head out for the day. I have a few pictures on my new phone from where I was last night so once I figure out how to get them off I will post that also!

Now for the beach pictures above....notice a difference?? Yeah, we did too!!! Let's just say we are glad we only did a one day trip to Daytona Beach because it was pretty crowded and we prefer the nice calm beach where you can actually hear the ocean waves!

Thanks for stopping by...I really appreciate you leaving comments even on non-craft related posts! Makes me smile from ear to ear! :)

Top 3 for me!

My "tweet" birdie card was picked as one of the Top 3 over at Stamping Vacation! I am so honored and if you would please go check out the lovely work of the other ladies!

I shall be back with more vacation pictures!

Another piece of history...

Castillo de San Marcos National Monument....you can read about it here.
We watched them shoot the cannons and one of the cannons produced a perfect white ring of smoke up in the air...truly amazing but it was too light and up in the sky so I couldn't get my camera to focus fast enough for a picture. The people performing said they have never seen that happen before so we might of gotten a once in a lifetime show!

** If interested I also added a link to yesterdays post in case you want to read about it.

Young Forever!

Hey guys and gals! (hehe, that is actually the name of a salon here)... I have been meaning to share some pictures with you from my trip to St. Augustine, Florida so throughout this week I will show you a few photos...can't show them all or it would take forever!! I get a tad carried away when it comes to taking pictures! :)
This area has many pieces of history and the one I want to share with you today is the Fountain of Youth...I actually drank water from it too so hopefully I will stay young forever! :)
