My Florida Pics So Far..... - Page 4

My brother was fiddling with my camera the other night and set the date wrong and I didn't notice it until after taking pics yesterday of the beach. They should read 2-18-11

I spent the day down at Boca Grande (Gasparilla Island) and wanted to share.

Going over the causeway that takes you over to the island and looking over at Gasparilla Sound and inlets out to the Gulf of Mexico, so pretty...

I love this view out to the Gulf

Boca Pass at the southern end of the island

Southern end also, where Charlotte Harbor flows out to the Gulf of Mexico.

Looking the other direction out to the Gulf where the beach wraps around

I love the sun shining on the water, I wish this pic had turned out better but the sun was too bright.

Charlotte Harbor end again

Shane, I think you really need to invest in a convertible!

You must be thanking God a thousand times a day for the oppurtunity to live in Florida, especially when you know it's cold as f&ck in Ohio.

Thanks guys. I spent the day there with family yesterday and it was perfect weather, warm but not too hot. I must've walked half that island taking pics. Louie as I was walking down the beach, I passed a hot guy about 6'3 and 225 who literally smelled delicious lol but I didn't want to obviously be taking a pic of him

but he was fine. I had a great time and don't make it down there enough.

It's nice and has it's tradeoff's, I still miss some things about home but definitely not winter and don't miss Ohio enough to want to move back anytime soon. I think I'd hate being landlocked again after 3 days knowing I can't just run to open water and the beach. When you live here vs. vacationing there's more time to do more stuff

In just a little over 2 hours driving from home today I made it into Miami and stopped for the night to rest and walk around South Beach. Boy is it busy! People everywhere. I'm here with my sister inlaw and my brother and we'll drive on down to some of the Keys at least, tomorrow morning. I had never been in Miami and it's everything it's made out to be

Soon as we got into Miami looking over from I75

Looking out my hotel window right on South Beach to the high rise condo next door and the penthouses. Pretty cool stuff.

I'll still never forget the first time I drove into Miami. I just could not believe how HUGE it was. The skyscrapers quite literally go for as long as the eye can see. Then the reality of the place kicks in, and you nailed it: it's everything it's made out to be and more. It's a 3rd world country... right here in the USA. It's extreme wealth like I've never seen. And there's no buffer in between the two. I think Miami is the only city I've ever been in where I actually feel scared to be there... and am uneasy until I leave (I drive through Miami every year en route to Key West). Anyway, stay safe Shane and take lots of pics of the Keys for me! I miss them so.
