Ormond Beach


Ormond Beach

One of our favorite activities to do while at the beach is ride our bikes.  While we were out, we discovered this beautiful park.  It was so peaceful amidst all the goings on around the park at the beach.

This is a memorial to the Vietnam Vets.

I just lived this fountain with the peacocks!

And we got to enjoy the soothing sounds of this waterfall!
I tried to limit my taking sunrise pictures, and then I tried to limit the amount I posted.  I hope you enjoy these as much as we enjoyed them.  Pictures, of course, are such a limited canvas for which to enjoy the magnificence of a sunrise.










We also travelled a little further south of Daytona and discovered this lighthouse.  I think it ended up being 203 steps.  But the view was worth it!



We enjoyed watching several dolphins swimming around these kayakers.  It was like they were playing with them!








And of course, more sunrises!



One of my favorites!  It is like the sun is proclaiming God's magnificence.
We travelled down to Juno Beach to see some of our cousins.  I so enjoyed sharing stories of family through the evening.  It is fun to see which stories actually contain the same information from family member to family member!!

And, of course, if there are puppies, they will be the star of the show!

Here I am with Melinda and Keith.
Then we travelled west a bit to Orlando to spend some time with more cousins.  More stories, more experiencing the wonderfulness (is that even a word?!) of being with family!

Some more sunrises!







Just a glimpse at what we enjoyed every morning while we were here.

The balconies from our complex.

A little panorama of our view from our balcony!
Then we came home for an exciting event, our daughter, Jennifer, graduated from Georgia State and has earned her Certified Nursing Masters Degree.  We are so proud of her we could burst!!!

Jennifer had a great cheering section at the ceremony!

Well, we are in Marietta for this month and are looking forward to catching up with family and friends!
