And the Adventure Continues.........

The weather didn't improve after a couple of days and showed no promise of doing so, so we loaded up and and decided to drive along the coast until we found some sunshine.  Well, that didn't happen until we were on the other side of Florida, 6 hours away in Jacksonville.  And there, we found this little bit of heaven called Casa Marina.  Right on the beach and nicely priced in the off season.


 The next few days our itinerary went something like this:
  1. Tom and I take advantage of continental breakfast in lobby then walk for miles on the beach in the early morning while Taylor sleeps.  Bring his breakfast up to the room when we return.

       2.  Spend the rest of the day doing this and more walking along the beach.  One of us would run up the street for lunch and bring it back to be eaten on the beach.

    3.  Evenings were spent going to dinner then a movie.  Discovered Taylor liked sushi.  Who knew?
     Simple days but perfect.  Got some sun, definitely relaxed and enjoyed a very different holiday season.  We checked out and headed home early on Dec. 23rd. so we could be home for Christmas.

I can not help but think of the great time you guys are having every day. When we lived off the coast for that one glorious year we spent Christmas Eve on the Beach it was wonderful.
