EOY~Beach 2017

Calypso has been our home for almost a week now, and it has been a cold one. It is our favorite place to stay. On the 16th floor, we have breathtaking views every day. Our days have been beautiful with the exception of one day being a bit foggy & misty.

And...there are just no words for the sunrises and sunsets on the white sands.



Footballs games, snacks galore, home-cooked meals, restaurant visits, card playing...just doing exactly what we want to do...and having fun being together...a time for renewal of love, friendship, and respect.

We love watching & listening to the bands on New Year's Eve night over at Pier Park.

As the bands take a break for the annual children's "Beach Ball Drop" of 10,000 beach balls, we find our place to watch the fun. This year we were on the edge of the street with a clear view.

10 more minutes until they drop!!!

Glenn got a beach ball when everyone began popping them up in the air for others to play volley. He kept his and gave it to the young girl sitting on her daddy's shoulders right beside us. She was excited.

Back at the condo, some time later, we settled in to watch the TV New Year Eve's shows as we waited for the fireworks display off of the PCB Pier Park pier over the Gulf. PCB never fails to display a wonderful 15-20 minutes fireworks display.

...and another year has come to a close.
