fenderguy Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Well, actually lakeside. A few days ago our family took a Sunday drive and we ended up at Two Harbors, Minnesota, on Lake Superior. It was amazing. The kids stopped fighting, the scenery was great, and the whole vibe just became so good that it was hard to explain really. A fog settled on the lake at sunset and it was almost like being on another planet--in a good way. I'll never forget how fun it was. I think these pictures come close to showing it: That's me and my youngest. She wouldn't listen to me when I told her she was going to get cold because the lake is so huge that it does not warm up in the summer. I think some of these other shots speak for themselves. It was almost heavenly: I can't explain it completely but I love these pictures. It was perfect timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrum Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Those lakes are so big they could be called 'seas' I miss being by the ocean and smelling the salt water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no wind on that day so it was in the upper 70's Fahrenheit a block inland and about twenty degrees colder over the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Those are gorgeous pictures, and it sounds like a wonderful, relaxing family vacation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~tangerine~ Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Very nice Fenderguy. There's no place like the beach (to me). My favorite beach. As nice as the gorgeous island in the South Pacific, but very close to home. A white sand beach filled with shells, but yet they don't hurt your feet: Oh and a nice place for a honeymoon...

Sanibel and Captiva Islands are a short drive from Ft. Myers. Did you visit the islands? They are lovely, and also a nature preserve. A peaceful, beautiful place. I'm in need of a vacation, lol.

Del Zeppnile Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Had a meal at Malibu Seafood one evening last week just as the sun was setting. Two grilled fish tacos and a side of ceviche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Florida because it's close to home and is loaded with beautiful beaches everywhere. California, though, i consider to be my favorite state. I have loved it since i was very young. I think my love for California began when i fell for Clint Eastwood and beautiful Carmel. Hey Del, does Malibu Seafood have fresh crab legs? I know the BEST place to get lobster is Maine. My favorite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledbaby Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I have three relatives who live in Daytona. A family of them in Dade City and good friends in Miami. I've been friends with my Miami pals for 30 years. Good friends never die. My favorite place in or around Florida is Nassau or Key Largo. I love the deep blue waters.

I did not make it to Captiva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not make it to Captiva. Did you go to shelling on the beach? You're not supposed to take too many shells at once, but in the week i was there, i was able to collect quite a few. I keep them in a crystal bowl as a reminder of time in paradise. Would love to retire to a place like Sanibel. If i ever get married again, i would love to marry on the beach.

Del Zeppnile Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hey Del, does Malibu Seafood have fresh crab legs? I know the BEST place to get lobster is Maine. My favorite... Yes, but I usually just order the fish tacos, fish & chips or the ahi burger. here is their website http://www.malibuseafood.com/ If you are ever in Santa Barbara, you have to try this place on Stearns Wharf. Best place in SoCal to have some fresh lobster or crab, sip some suds, and dig the classic rock while watching the sunset. http://www.sbfishhouse.com/shellfish/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to vacation in California when my daughter is a little older. Only been there once when i was young and lived in Las Vegas for a year. Thanks for the info.
