In January of 2009, two days after retiring from my job of 37 years, I took a road trip around my home state of Florida
(mostly the West/Gulf Coast). I learned so much about Florida's history and all the interesting things Florida
has to offer. It's not all Disney World and the Space Shuttle - although, the Space Shuttle IS pretty spectacular!!

SEASIDE

My first stop was a beautiful beach town in the Florida Panhandle called Seaside. The beach had the whitest sand I have ever seen. It is very small, with adorable houses and shops.

After being at the same job for 37 years, this was the first photograph I took when I retired.  It says it all, "Life is good!"
 




This was a cute record store in the center of town.
BEAUTIFUL houses on the beach
