Oh, the Places You'll Go!
by Dr. Seuss
Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
We ‘steered’ our path to Canaveral National Seashore…our favorite beach in Florida!
Our first glimpse of the beach.
Very few people there this week!
And the Full Moon off the balcony of our condo.
The view from inside at breakfast.
New Smyrna Beach, Florida
All photos straight out of the camera!
It really WAS that beautiful!
Me stepping onto the beach, smiling I’m sure!
Hubby took me on a special vacay and he ordered up perfect weather and a seashore with lots of seashells and even some precious pieces of seaglass. (and took most of these photos! thanks honey!)
I’m joining Beautiful Sunday,
Mosaic Monday, and
It’s even fun to get back and do all of the ‘normal’ chores. After all, I have seashells to wash and sort and blog buddies to visit! I’ll catch up with your news while I shake the sand out of everything!

Beautiful.....isn't it nice to get away for a few days, sometimes? We are heading to Florida at the end of June...I can't wait to get on the beach!! Enjoy this gorgeous weekend..
How gorgeous! Lucky you!!
So here I sit looking out into the early morning sun shinning on the patio. There is a sprinkling of rain. I needed a sea side retreat, even if it was a cyber trip. The sea shore is so beautiful. I'd like to be sorting sea glass and shells, too.
You lucky thing!

Looks like a perfect vaca!!
That's a beach I've never been to. Can't wait to see pics of the shells you found there and the sea glass.
Spectacular beach views! Now you've done it! Made me want to take a trip to the beach.
How neat! Great views.
You sound like Winnie the pooh...Oh bother, I have to wash seashells.LOL Love it. I hope you had a wonderful time with your husband walking the beach together. Love the postcard you made. xoxo,Susie
Those are fabulous photos! What a beautiful place...so glad that you had such a beautiful getaway.
This looks such a sublimely lovely slice of ocean front paradise. How wonderful that you were able to spend some time there. I'm sure it's even more stunning in person!
Big hugs & happy weekend wishes,

What a beautiful place for a holiday! I love the beach, so relaxing. Glad you had such a nice time.
Those long stretches of sandy beaches are so beautiful. Makes me want to walk and walk and walk. The sea glass and shells will be great reminders of this visit.
What beautiful photos! I love the night sky especially, but they're all gorgeous. Happy weekend!
It looks like you had a wonderful vacation, Diane. That's the kind of beach I remember visiting as a kid -- wide and long and sandy and warm. Beautiful.
Thanks for popping by.
I haven't been to Florida in many years and those photos make me think I'd better get down there. It looks like you had a great vacation and nothing beats falling asleep to the sound of the ocean!
Such gorgeous photos my friend. Those beaches looks so pretty..
Hugs~
Glad you enjoyed it!Show us the sea glass too!AriadnefromGreece!
Sounds like a dream of a weekend! The photos bring the ocean to life. The moon has been amazing to look at even here!
Hi there name mate! Can I be a visitor in your condo? I so love the view and the nearby beach. I wanted to spend some relaxing time there. You are so blessed to have them.
I believe your constant exposure to these beautiful places has a positive effect on you. You always look happy and beautiful as reflected in your post. Please continue spreading the good vibes to everyone.

Big hugs x
Looks like your husband choose a wonderful place to visit. Very lovely photos and mosaic.
Beautiful photos by your hubby. It looks gorgeous there and I so love the ocean and beach. Imagine having it all to yourself like that!
Diane, you're making me homesick for the sunshine state, especially New Smyrna beach where we had family living while growing up.
Florida is beautiful. Fun. And that is so sweet your hubby planned it all.
I love sea glass. I have some from Lake Superior. I love to collect it.
Look at those blue skies, sandy beaches and beautiful waters. These photos that your husband took are very nice. And I love the Dr. Seuss quote. He is one of my favorites. I'm glad you had a nice visit on one of your favorite beaches in Florida. Fun times for sure.
love,

You know you're not supposed to remove sand from the beach! LOL At least, not here. Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing this little slice of heaven.
Have I told you lately how jealous I am of you?! Seriously, Diane, you have a wonderful life :)
I think I heard of Smryna Beach on house hunters, and for sure one of these days I will get to canaveral beach and when I do, I'll tell everyone I meet Diane sent me!
I have family who live in that area! So glad you enjoyed your time.

What a treat that must have been. There is just nothing like a sunny day on a sandy beach!
Beautiful photos!! Looks like you had a great time.
hugs,
Cindy
I LOVE the beach. At around this time I begin to look forward to our yearly week at the beach. I hope one day soon we will be able to go to the beach more often. Thank you for bringing the beach to me.
What amazing views. I'm so jealous (in a happy way). I can see why this is one of your favorite beaches. Hugs!
ALL beautiful and looks like so much fun...love that Moon Shot!! :)
Diane, what a wonderful vacation and what a gorgeous place and photos! Have been there and would love to go back! You sure have a sweetheart of a hubby and he's got a real sweetie of a wife!
Hugs sweet friend~

Oh how I would love to be walking along the water right now :)
Thank you for sharing your photos with us - it's almost as good as being there.
Happy week, sweet friend!
Wonderful shots.
Please show us your sea glass. It's hard to find, isn't it? Your sweet hubby did a good job with the trip. Beautiful photos!
What a beautiful place. It's one thing to drive to the beach for a day and another to stay at the beach for a week. What a thoughtful husband you have ~
How utterly beautiful! A tear has come to my eyes. I'm glad you had such a wonderful time.
We go there every other summer, have for 30 years, we stay at the Sandpiper Condos, it's our home away from home. We love it there!!!! It's a wonderful place to be!!!!!
Tonight I started to think about the beach & summer and here I am looking at these beautiful photos, Diane! Dr. Seuss is a fave here. He grew up in Springfield, MA (borders my town on the north). His illustrations contain images of Springfield when he was a child. The red Indian motorcycles were manufactured in Spfld. His stories are cool!

What a breathtaking view! I do love a beautiful ocean view! Looks like a delightful trip. xo

Beautiful indeed my friend. The ocean is one of God's creations that just amazes me. I have not seen near enough of it in my life though. Maybe someday :) Blessings
