Let me introduce you to Clearwater Beach- voted Florida's #1 beach by USA Today. And let me tell you, it is wonderful!! The air feels so strange here, but we are simple Idaho people with a dry climate so any humidity seems strange. I feel like I just took a shower and left the door shut. Do you know that feeling? You have a hard time breathing at first? Yep, that's here!
The start of our trip was a little strange considering Kasey and I didn't sleep the night before! Kasey, being an officer who is on night shift schedule, could not get himself to fall asleep. And me, being a last minute packer had to stay up all night packing. But, it all worked out! We slept through both of our flights and were rested enough to spend all night enjoying the beach and dinner at an awesome restaurant!
We met my mom's family and had dinner right on the shore of the ocean. Or maybe it was the gulf or the bay? Heck, it was the ocean and it was gorgeous! I kept watching to look for a dolphin because they say they see them all the time, but I didn't see any (sad face).
After dinner my love and I took about a mile walk to walk off the (amazing) food. Kasey had never been to a beach on the Atlantic Ocean before so under the moonlight we walked with our toes in the sand and in about ankle deep water. I found a cute little shell and grabbed it for (tourist hoarding) memory sake.
We went out on Pier 60 and saw a man juggling fire, a saxophonist, and several small tourist shops. The ocean was very refreshing and the mist from the waves kept us cool from the 80+ degree weather and 80% humidity.
Today is day two and we started out by doing a little (okay, fine, a lot) of shopping. We are heading to Orlando today so that we are closer to our embarking place for our cruise. I wonder what trouble we will get ourselves into tonight!
So fun! Glad you are having a relaxing and refreshing trip...hope you get to see a dolphin! ;)
