ponce inlet sunday

spent our sunday in ponce inlet

the other side of jetties from new symrna beach
you take a-1-a to the so. end of daytona
and end up at the ponce inlet lighthouse

we discovered sailfish drive

a scenic drive tucked under hanging spanish moss covered trees

and followed it until we found water and heard music

happily discovered
DOWN THE HATCH SEAFOOD CO.

fresh catch of the day, intercoastal dining, cold drinks, boating

gorgeous blue waters

and look who showed up!!!

ian n mama were out boating with friends

"hey!!! what are YOU doing here!!!"

after 5 hours we crossed a-1-a and went for
evening ocean swim
w/ dolphins!!!!!

lifes been a little tougher for us all

but it's GOOD to have these moments to enjoy life

sometimes you just have to "gopher" it

ummm
gohper turtle humor intended!!!!
(we saw this guy crossing the street in our neighborhood earlier in day)

big thankyou to laura @ SEALAURA

for recommendation to see indie documentary

" Bill Cunningham NY"

not only was the film a total pleasure

bill is quite a unique soul and i found his life inspiring

but we enjoyed the newly renovated historic

athens theatre in deland

we ended up having a spontaneous wine party pre viewing

thanks laura, great idea!!!!!
