Clearwater Beach

I realized recently that I've never gotten around to sharing photos of our Disney vacation that we took in January.  After any trip, I always feel the need to distance myself from it, that way when I go back through the photos they are magical all over again.

Disney was great (and I will share those photos soon), but the best parts of our trip were the days spent at Clearwater Beach.  Sure, it was a little chilly and Poesy insisted on eating the sand, but we only see the ocean once or twice a year.  For this Midwestern family, seeing the ocean is like visiting Neverland.  There is absolutely nothing like it.

 

 

(All of these pictures were taken with an underwater camera.  The actual underwater pictures were taken in a pool.) 

This was before Poesy could even walk-- she actually started walking during this vacation.  Now while I watch her run and spin and climb, I think back to this late January/early February period and it almost feels like another life. 

Today as I take the girls to the local water park, I will be missing this place greatly.  ;)
