My Florida!

When we (Lowell, Bret, and I) got to Florida December 4 2011 we went directly to Cocoa Beach. We were so excited! I had never seen the ocean before but Lowell had when he was in the Marines. When we got to South Beach we went directly to the beach. I was in awe! I'm not sure what Bret was thinking since he doesn't speak. I think he was in awe too! We settled in in our 2 bedroom cottage. The owner was really awesome and ordered pizza for everyone for dinner. Fortunately for him , even though it was in December there still wasn't a lot of snow birds to feed!  😉 We were tired and went to bed a little early.
     Here I want to write a little about our trip to Florida. We drove the truck we rented the 3 of us. It was a little crowded to say the least! We also rented a trailer from them to pull our 2004 Ford Free star Van. We packed some of our things in there too! I can't believe how much stuff we had accumulated over 15 years of living in Belton Missouri. I mean really it is just ridiculous! And even after having the garage sale, and giving some of my knik knacks and home decore away we still had alot of "stuff".
     The next day we got up and had breakfast. Our little cottage had a kitchen and I fixed us some eggs, Lowell's favorite. We decided to leave South Beach and go on down  A 1 A/Atlantic Blvd and stay in Sea Aire, a cute and cozy cottage with a kitchen area. And it was a lot closer to the water. Right on the beach! We ended up living there for a month. It was so much fun! Oh, I forgot to mention that I had a pet. My cute little Yorkie mix, Jasmine. I called her Jazzy most of the time. Dogs weren't allowed on the beach in Cocoa Beach so when I walked her I had to go around the CocoaBeach area streets and neighborhood. There were Tiki bars and alot of shops, grocery stores, and fun spots like parks and the pier. This might not be a big deal for some people but it was exciting and fun for me since I had never been it this kind of lifestyle before. I wanted to live in Cocoa Beach permanently so on some of mine and Jazzy's walks I would check out some of the houses and try to find some to rent. We spent Christmas there. Here is a silly picture of me. We put our furniture and things in storage. But I would go to our storage locker and drag out some Christmas decorations and decorate our cottage. I even got some crocheting in while we stayed there. I crocheted some Christmas decor!
