Beach Trip and House 2013

Hey!

We stayed at a wonderful beach house this year in Blue Mountain Beach, Florida.  The view was stunning out our back door.  We saw all sorts of marine life this year:dolphins, skates, sand sharks.  But, my personal favorite was the sea turtle.

Blue Mountain is trying to maintain the dunes so the habitat is left to grow.

Come on in and enjoy our beach house 2013! 
I love the gloss on this canvas in the foyer, but what a bugger to take a shot without a reflection!

One of four bedrooms -  Besides the incredible views of the ocean, the other bonus to this property was everybody had their own bedroom and bathroom. 

The house had an open kitchen, dining and living room plan.

I loved the coastal decor.  This artwork would be a great project out of a pallet.

Just looking at the pictures takes me back --- I told Honey Do I wanted to stay longer next time! 

After all, you only live once.  YOLO, anyone??

If you didn't get enough coastal house pictures, here's the  link to our beach house in 2011.

Blessings,

Mimi

The Windy City

Hey!

Chicago was a whirlwind trip of sightseeing, shopping and fun! 

I'm sharing a little of my perspective of the city...

A view of the building that chewing gum built and the Mastercard Mile

 or aka the Wrigley building and the Magnificent Mile! 

While I do take the standard tourist photos...

I kinda like to take shots of things that make me smile.

Statuesque Marilyn is nice...

but don't you love the people looking up her skirt?!!

Lovely shots of the Wrigley building and the Tribune building....

Look at what was supporting one of the cantilevers....

a gargoyle with his fingers up his nose!!!

No trip to Chicago would be complete without a walk

down to the waterfront of Lake Michigan.

Can you find us reflected in The Bean at Millennium Park ???

Hint: I'm in a pink shirt and Honey do is in a dark shirt.

Lots of steel bascule bridges and operator houses....

I love the aqua color of this one!! 

Looking up as you go under, though, you get a great industrial view!

And reflections of buildings in a building ..........Cool!

The only problem with a trip though.....

Tempus fugit!!! 

What about you?  Does time fly by too quickly on a trip?

Where have you been recently? I would love to hear about it!!!!!

Blessings,

Mimi
