The staycation has proved to be a wonderful way to vacation. We celebrated the end of it tonight with beer and pizza. We've swore off fast food for the next 6 weeks, so it was extremely tasty in light of knowing it was our last (for a little while).
I don't know why we haven't visited there before, but we went to Tropical Beach yesterday, which is about 5 - 10 minutes from our house. It was a great visit and very HOT!
You'd think we'd be used to the ridiculously ovenlike conditions here, but we still can't believe how warm it gets, especially at the beach. But, look how beautiful it is! During low tide, you can walk out farther and catch little ocean critters.
We decided against that, opting instead to lay out and go for a periodic dip in the ocean.
I loved looking out at the sail boats.
The beach had little lifeguard "huts." Makes me think of the Beach Boys for some reason.
And a great view of this monument on the convention center grounds.
That night, we enjoyed dinner (yummy curry!) with our friends, Kenny and Amanda. They hadn't had Yogurtland yet, so we were more than happy to introduce it to them for a yummy dessert.
While enjoying it outside, we were entertained with some local fireworks nearby. Good stuff all around!
Looks like a great time!! We need to try one of those staycations :)
ReplyDeleteI remember visiting that beach, but it wasn't sunny, and it wasn't warm!
ReplyDeleteI will double my fast food intake for the next 6 weeks so the economy doesn't get out of balance.
