Ok-- I love Florida! Admittedly it's hot. But the water is like the carribean. Blue water, white sands... paradise. Our house is cozy but perfect. Surrounded of course by big beach McMansions. The girls have been having a great time playing in the sand and even playing in the water. They are a bit fickle about the water. It's a love hate relationship.
It's fairly quiet down here as I guess most of the world has gone back to school. That's one of the reasons we got such a deal on this house -- even though it's 95 degrees outside it's considered "fall" by rental companies.
All the planned communities are very nice. We're staying in an authentic 40's bungalow. Definatley not like Seaside or Rosemary Beach. But it's only 5 minutes to either of those destinations and quite honestly-- I'd rather be in this cottage and walk out my door to the beach than waaay back across Highway 30-A just to stay in the asthetically pleasasing, master-planned community surrounded by $2-5 million dollar vacation homes. We've explored WaterColors, Rosemary Beach, Seaside, Seacrest, etc. since you can still visit the shops and restaurants.
I still need to post photos. We've been hesitant to take camera to beach but we'll get some shots on line soon.
Today is mom's birthday-- we'll celebrate tonight at Bud & Alley's-- one of the "older" restaurants around here. Scott and I will go to a grown up restaurant Thursday night I think. And Dad is going on a fishing boat tomorrow so we're hoping for pounds and pounds of Red Snapper. It will be my job to cook it up!
Leah was so tired at lunch today that she literally could not keep her eyes open. Now they're in bed just chatting it up!! Oh well!
