What is it about spending time at the beach that really re-charges your batteries? Is it the laid back atmosphere; is it the reduced stress level or is it the time you can spend with yourself? I have to admit I experienced all of these last week when me, BFF and BFF's granddaughter had 7 wonderful nights and 6 glorious days at Panama City Beach in Florida.
Although our time began during a torrential rain storm with rain the next couple of days, it was the 'getting away' part that excited me the most. As many of you know getting to a beach from Louisville, Kentucky is not a quick trip (12 hours in the car!) but once you see God's magnificent ocean it is well worth the 'windshield' time spent.
What did we enjoy most? Well, our first night there (in between rainstorms) we watched a magnificent fireworks display over the beach from our balcony while sipping Margaritas... or it could have been the $60.00 in cash found laying next to my car when we decided to go out and grab a quick bite or maybe the early morning coffee on the balcony while watching the sun rise....so many good times crammed into those 6 days. Our last nite was spent drinking a bottle of sparkling Asti wine on the balcony while recounting everything that had happened. We laughed and laughed until we cried, broke more than a couple of moving violations (we were out-of-towners after all) and totally left all of our cares, stresses and worries 642 miles away....So many thanks BFF and little BFF for helping to make wonderful memories to help keep us warm during the cold Kentucky winters.....
Do it again next year? You bet!
Girlfriend fun was had by all!
