Miami Beach, Unexpectedly

 You would think that when you plan to go to Miami Beach, you plan on actually going on the beach... 

Not the case this time. We didn't pack swimming suits, beachy wear or in Joshua's case, shorts or sandals! I admit that when we were in talks of going to Miami Beach, that we were just going to walk, shop, sightsee and eat.

Somehow we (J and a couple of our friends, Lindsey and Richard) strolled on the beach, sat in the shade of that awesome lifeguard house and people watched. I just marveled at the color of the ocean. It was so blue, not like the greenish color we have here in the Gulf.

Amid crowds of people and noisy passersby, being next to the ocean is still the most rejuvenating place to be.
