A Recent Trip

This week we just returned from out annual trip to the beach. For us, fall is the perfect time to go; no crowds, weather is usually a little cooler, and it's cheaper. We had a great time even with all the rain.One of the highlights this year was getting to see my brother and sil. They too had gone to the beach the same time so we got to have lunch with them.The water was just gorgeous! I could sit and watch it all day long.It felt good to rub my toes into the sand. Lou, this pics for you girl!This was the view from our balcony. I think I could get use to seeing that everyday.

Hope you are having sunny days in your part of the world.

Hi Susie, the shots of the beach/water are simply beautiful! Must've been a fun trip. Thanks for sharing your brother/Sil's photo.

I'm listening to your playlist now. Enjoying it!! Have a great weekend!

Oh Susie, That looks so neat. We love the beach in May --for the same reasons you love it in September. Where do you go??? Somewhere on the gulf coast??? We go to Ocean Isle, NC (not far from Myrtle Beach)... I'm like you---I LOVE the beach.
Hugs,
Betsy

I want to go to the beach, WAAAAAAAA! You make me want to go even more. Just lovely. Sunshiny blue water and being there with people you love.

Your Ocean is just so nice! The color of your water is my favorite color. We are having some nice weather over here - just right really, sunny but not too hot. On our beaches you don't see any folks sitting under umbrellas ( unless it's raining ) we're all lined up in our vehicles which we've driven up the beach and parked side by side. I prefer your beach. =)

Glad you had a good time, I love the Beach, but alas DH opts for the Mountains every year. My Sis and I went to Bradenton, FL 2 yrs ago to see my Brother and we stayed in a Condo on the beach, the beauty of the ocean and beach just takes your breath away.

That water is such a wonderful color. I haven't been to a beach in so long. Looks relaxing.

I'm glad you had a great time at the beach. We really enjoy our annual trip to the beach at Ocean Isle. We go in the spring before the prices go up!

NICE! Nothing like sand in your toes!

Catherine@AGardenerinProgress said...

How fun and what beautiful sandy beaches. We really don't have sandy beaches here, mostly rocky which doesn't feel as good on bare feet :)
I could get used to a view like that too!

Rose said...

Beautiful beach photos! I'd like to rub my toes into the sand, too:) There's something about the ocean that just mesmerizes me. I don't swim, but strangely, I'm always drawn to beaches. Looks like you picked the perfect time to go!

jen said...

Gorgeous Susie!! I'm sure you had a great time!! I'm hopeing to get to the ocean again this winter.

Have a great weekend!

Connie said...

So gorgeous and peaceful, Susie. I could look at that view every day too. Sounds like you had a good time. :)

Terri said...

The beach looks great! :) Sounds like great fun!

TC said...

Ms. Susie, I love the footprints in the sand photo! You should have it framed. I miss the ocean!

Beth said...

Hi Susie:
The beach does look beautiful. How have you been? It's been so long since I've visited my blogging friends and my poor garden has been neglected - basically since school and our normal routine started!
Hope all is well in your part of the world ...

beckie said...

Susie, like you I could get used to seeing such lovely views. Hope you had a wonderful time and got some rest.

Vicki said...

Hey Susie,
Looks like you had a great time at the beach.

Where in Ms did you say you live? I've been looking at a hot air balloon festival in Natchez. Is that close to you?

Vicki said...

I didn't remember that you were in Canton. We were there the end of June for a baseball tournament. I'm sad that I didn't remember! I had quite a bit of extra time, I wish we could have met. I'll remember next time!

Jacquie said...

How fun! Just the SMELL of the ocean is enough for me.

hay hay, sounds like you had a great time, its been a while since i took a real vacation, Beachs are nice, but give me the MOUNTAINS with streams and rivers anyday. LOVE my trees!!!
Although I would love to have a bowl full of beach glass though, especially orange!!!

seeya,
the best is yet to come!

Hey Susie,
Yes, we've had the downpours. We woke up to thunderstorms this morning. The sun does come out occasionally, but like you said, when it does, it's so muggy outside. I can't wait to get to the mountains in October, hopefully all this rain will make the leaves pretty. I just hope we aren't too early, we're going a little earlier than usual since we are taking our "break" when our grandson and daughter are on their fall break so that nobody has to pick up our slack in "babysitting"!
