beachside blogging

I'm down in Florida, enjoying an actual vacation. Despite the fact that we've had an extremely mild winter this year, the sun is nonetheless appreciated along with a week off of work.

I enjoyed 2 kayak rides yesterday, the first with Trish, and the second with Jason. Trish and I made our way out to the sandbar, walking around and discovering sealife. We found some beautiful Conch shells, but unfortunately, the Conch animal-thing was still in it, so I couldn't take the shell. :( But I did manage to find a great sand dollar and star fish. Also swam a bit at the pool yesterday and took a nap pool side; it's a tough life down here.

Today it turned a bit cool and rainy but we managed to capture some time in the sun early in the day and enjoy a bike ride. We headed down to the nature preserve along side the bridge where the bay turns into the gulf.

Of course, I'm always the one taking the photos--my precious nikon in hand--perhaps I'll let someone take a picture of me in Florida this week, to prove I was on vacation. :)
