The Beach

So Joe and I have ventured to the beach 2 times since our arrival in Florida. The closest one to us is New Smyrna Beach...only about a 1/2 hour away. We went with Joe's parents the 1st time and then just the 2 of us on the next.
As you can see... you can drive right onto the beach here... sooo coool!!! Just unpack your chairs and towels, put on the sunblock, and head to the water.

The water is much warmer(72 degrees actually) on the Atlantic ocean side vs. the Pacific. When you are in the water here it is cold at first but then your body gets used to it kinda like a pool.

There are lots of seagulls and pelicans flying and walking around. I attempted to get a picture but it didn't come out to clear... I'm sure there will be many more visits and I will try again... if only they would sit still! Oh and we are coming into sea turtle season so maybe I'll get to see one of those as well.

And on a side note.... I HAVE A JOB!! YAY! I start tomorrow at a vet clinic in the area as a receptionist. I will keep everyone posted on how it goes.
