A Day At The Light House

I had done some research before we left and found out there was a area not far from our resort that was called Ponce Inlet and it was supposed to have a light house you could go into.  Next to my favorite thing which is “Bridges” light house’s come in second.

But before I do that I have to show you what the picture of the day was yesterday.  A friendly little creature that wanted his picture taken.

Here is the picture of the lighthouse which is still used to this day.  It has about

250 steps to get to the top. 

 

 

Christi making her way up.  She did great as she has asthma and so had to take it a little slower.  I went up ahead to take some pictures.  Here she looks like she is saying “How far do have to go yet”.

When you finally got to the top it was well worth the walk or in this case
250 steps, as the view was spectacular.

You could not actually go to the top floor where the light fixture is as it is still being used, but I did a picture of it.

Here is your “Picture of the day” Good luck and have a great day,

Florida Vacation, A Beautiful Day a Walk

I promised you what the picture of the day was for yesterday so here it is.
It was a close-up of the lens to this rotating lighthouse lens we would visit.

We did quite a bit of walking on this day.  We started are day out going to a nature preserve where you could walk out on long walkways over marsh land and see some beautiful scenery.

             

                        

We then went back and had some lunch and then took a walk on the beach in the other direction and found a neat amphitheater and little shops and restaurants.

                      

                                   

          

                             

                                   They even had a Bubba Gump restaurant.

A Beautiful Warm Week Spent Together

The time had finally arrived for Christi and I to take a vacation to Florida for just the two of us. It was a long journey to get there. It started out with a phone call where on the other  end of the phone the person says you get a “Free” airline flight to anywhere in the USA.  All you have to do is come an watch a short video and listen to a person talk about their travel agency.  Let me just say this, Do not answer that call and no matter how convincing they sound say NO.

Well that being said we were off for Florida on Saturday February 4.  It was a late flight and by the time we got our luggage and our rental car and drove to our timeshare it was 1:30 Sunday morning.  We got up and went out and did some grocery shopping as we were going to try and cook our main meal in our condo.  Then we took a walk on the beach.  We could just walk our back door and across the patio and down to the beach. The picture on the right shows that they drive right on the beach, and the ice cream goes up and down the beach. 

 

They even have speed limit signs for the cars.  Each night they move the signs away from the beach as the tide comes in covers the road.

We even got in the water the first day there.  As you can see the water was not real warm but the waves were great.  I look like a Michigander with my WHITE skin.

 

Then we took a walk down to the pier which was just down the beach from where we were staying.

Christi even brought her Stampin’Up! sandals and left her imprint in the sand. 

Now I am going to start a New idea and we will see how it works and how long I can keep it up.  I am going to show you a “Picture of the day” and it will be a close up of something and it’s your job to try and figure it out.  The next day I will show a picture of what it was along with the next “Picture of the Day”

Well so long for now from Daytona Beach Florida,

Dale & Christi.
