Hubby and I have recently returned from our vacation in Florida so I have some pix to share with you, if you've time .. so, pull up a chair/grab a coffee and - scroll!

First meal out - Chili's - empty on arrival but we timed it just right
as there was quite a wait for a table by the time we left!

A couple of visitors - Protected birds, Sandhill Cranes

An evening with friends, at a new and local Mexican

And we caught a launch of a Falcon rocket from a beach bar
where we also caught the pelicans above.
I did also see a dolphin but wasn't quick enough
to get an even half way decent pic! Sorry.
And at the Miller Ale House, with Bonnie and Derek

Sometimes you can get close to the Gecko's this one was about
5" long but I was only inches away!

Took a drive along International Drive, for a change


One of the roller coasters at Sea World!

Hope you will join me for my next post, on Wednesday, for some more pix, thanks for stopping by today.

Great photos of Florida, nice memories, been too long for us. A very soft and feminine ATC, lovely to see you at our June Tag-Along (and ATC's) challenge, thank you.

A very pretty ATC Kathy and I love the stencilling and little stamped flowers along the bottom, and fun stamped sentiment and outline shape go well, and I love the zesty green background card you used. Some wonderful photos of your recent holiday in Florida too, looks like you had a great time. x

Love the colors of your stenciled ATC, Kathy, and the way you bordered your sediment and added the wildflowers! Thank you for sharing some of your Florida photos ~ looks like a fun time! BTW, I received my card, which I'm saving, but thank you in advance!❤️And thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell

A really great ATC Kathy - loving the pinks of course. And the holiday photos are so nice to see. That beatiful blue sky - and sunshine all the way!
