I stopped to enjoy a few minutes at the beach on my drive home from work last fall. I am so happy we moved here a little over a year ago. It confirms this is definitely where we want to retire.

Which coast is here? Looks like sun is setting in the West, so it’s probably the Pacific. Unless it’s a really big lake.

It's the west coast of Florida - Gulf of Mexico.

Thank you. I completely agree, these little guys light up our days.

Son and DIL just told us a new baby is on the way and we are ecstatic!
