I thought I would be brave and experiment with the digital camera...I was my only target. I kinda like this scrolling thing that the picture thingy does now. It sort of caresses the photograph with a soft grazing flow to it. Do you all like this? Have you experimented yet?
Hubby and I took a mini vacation this past weekend. It was fun. We headed to Treasure Island for sand, water and sun. Actually we found an old treasure in the form of an old 1950 style motel, right on the beach. Laid back, had a swimming pool. Didn't even have a restaurant or anything with it. Our room turned out to be three rooms, living room, kitchen, bedroom and bath. They had ones in front that have balconies on the second floor. Next time we will try for those.
These places are disappearing very quickly. The land is worth so much more to a developer for a hotel or condos. In fact, hubby's job site was right next door to this little place. He's working on a huge Marriott Hotel, that will provide hundreds of rooms for tourists.
So floating on my back in the pool I could gaze up and see the scaffolding on the ninth floor where my hubby would be back working on Monday. All I could say was...Oh my God that's really high up there. He is a supervisor and really doesn't have to be out there anymore, but he does it anyway. I guess it's a man thing.
I tell you, not for nothing, but I could really see myself getting spoiled just laying back, watching the surf, the sunshine, the birds overhead and the sound of the sea. All just so relaxing.
Right before we left we rebooked for Joe's birthday in November, this time we got the end unit with the lovely balcony......

I like the new picture options and your mini vacation sounds nice. I could use some sun and surf.
Love, Lahoma
I like the new pictures as an option, like it used to be; but sometimes I like my descriptions to show up. Joe over at Magic Smoke says they'll get it back like it used to be after this weekend; then if we want the new style, we'll have to select it.
Aww... that is nice... can't you go back before while hubby is working there... this summer? You could stay in the hotel and hubby could join you at night? I say go for it... lol
I like the pic! The new thing is cool!
be well,
Dawn

I know what you mean about the 1950's style apartments disappearing. We spent a lot of time at Ocean Drive when I was a kid and young adult - it was always like going to a second home, and then I didn't go for a few years. Imagine the shock and surprise when I went back and you couldn't even see the ocean from the road because of the huge condo's and tremendous hotels. what a loss.
i love the photo! lets you see from all angles. gotta get me one of those digital cameras.
have a great memorial day!
