I hope that today families are spending time together this Memorial Day. It's a reminder that summer is almost here.
The weather here is gorgeous, and we are looking forward to a wonderful couple of months. There are so many things to do here in Brevard County Florida and in the surrounding areas.
Florida is full of theme parks; Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, MGM Studios, Epcot Center, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Wet 'n Wild, and the list goes on and on. These are located in Orlando, just about 40-50 minutes from Melbourne.
We have beautiful beaches on the east and the west coast of the state, with water skiing, jet skiing, parasailing, surfing, swimming, and fishing.
There are so many great reasons to come to Florida for your summer vacation.
We certainly plan to head around the state to see places that we have never been before.
Have a wonderful day and bless you all!
This picture was taken at Goode Park in Palm Bay. It's a beautiful location to put your boat in and spend the day.

We love to visit your corner of the world! My in laws lived in Indian Harbor for years after retiring. Lots to do and to see, yet not visited by loads of tourists.
Hi Sandy, I have been to Florida several times, but never to Melbourne. It sounds really nice!
Hi Sandy, the picture in Palm Bay certainly does look inviting! Glad you are back to gorgeous weather, and if I ever come to Florida, I see there are lots of things to do--- I better plan a long trip!
I am 50/50 on summer...I love my kids..but they are home..and bored...and I work from home... a bad combination
Sandy - That's a very calming picture! Here in Sacramento they were showing video of our local Memorial Day Remembrance. I know we are getting old because many of the Vietnam vets, who rode their Harleys to the event, had girl friends that belong to the Red Hat Society:-)
Brevard County is great Sandy. Obviously I know, I am from there...
Sandy,
Sounds like I need to take a vacation.....
Ann
@ Myrl - That comment totally cracked me up!
Sandy, you promote your community and state very well........have fun seeing new sites and making new memories in Florida!!
Sandy, No lines, it can't be summer unless we have a least 3 cars and trailers backed up....
Hi Michael, Indian Harbour Beach is beautiful. So, you know what a great place it is to live in.
Shirley, There are so many gorgeous parts of Florida - across the state. You're fortunate to have been able to come and see some of the state.
Hey Miss Mary, Come on down, with Ann. We'll all have a great time.
Hi Konnie, Oh, that's me too. The kids do easily get bored. And I also work out of my home. It does make for a difficult combination sometimes.
Hi Myrl, I luv your comments - you are so witty and so sharp! I suppose all of us are getting old. But I thought you were only as old as you feel. (lol?)
Hi Gary, I know that you used to live here - there are so many great sights here, aren't there? So many reasons to live here.
Hi Ann, Come on down - I'll show you around.
Hey Miss Mary, Myrl is an absolute crack up, always. I love her! She's great!
Caren, Thanks. I love being here. There is so much to see and to do. Florida is beautiful!
Hi Paul, Oh you're right...you got me. I took this picture in the middle of the day on a Tuesday. I suppose all the boaters were at work.
Sandy,
If you keep inviting me, I am going to make the trip! And Mary should come too!
Ann
Hee Hee @ Ann and Sandy -- that would be a blast :-) Where do I apply for a free trip to Florida -- is there a bailout plan for vacations? LOL!!
Hi Ann and Mary, You both should come on down and enjoy Florida for a week - fun, surf, and sun. A little bit of relaxation also. Does the body good! Let me know when you're coming...
Sandy,
Can we have some of those drinks with the little umbrellas?
Ann
Sandy,
One of these days, I really am going to show up on your doorstep.
Ann
