Florida with the Allsops

What to do when you arrive in Florida is never a question.  Go to the beach!  We went to the beach every single day we were there and it was heavenly.

I met this guy as he walked up to our spot on the sand.  He was very curious and tried to find some food.  It didn't like what we had but came close enough to take things out of our hands.

The water always surprises both of us with the saltiness of it.  Still, what a nice temperature both in and out of the water.

Pat was feeling the sandy bottom with his feet and was finding sand dollars.  Then he pulled up this creature.  It is a 9-legged sea star.  I found one too.

We shopped for some reason I don't recall and I saw this lady come in and again when she was leaving.  He skin was like tanned leather.  She is a "white" woman who has seen too much sun for too many days/weeks/years in a row.

I told you that this guy came in close.  

There is just something so relaxing about sitting together with good friends on the beach.  No children to watch, no worries in the world.  Dennis and Phyllis have been such wonderful friends for more years than I know.  We always pick things up right where we put them down and we are grateful for their love and hospitality.
