Clearwater Beach, Florida

Ok, so I know it has been a very long time since my last post but I guess we have been busy enjoying life =) So here are a few pictures of that fun life we have been living.

Our first fun little trip within the last month was Clearwater Beach, Florida. We went with Ben's parents and rented a beautiful condo on the beach. It was about 100 yards or so from the beach. It was such a wonderful, relaxing trip.

Of course the boys needed to get a couple of days of golf in. Have I ever mentioned how much a despise golf on a vacation. Let me give you a recap on the day Mary and I decided we would just tag along in the golf cart.

First hole:
Cassie-Babe, it looks like a nice course
Ben-Yeah not to bad. At least it isn't 100 degrees like it has been.

Third hole:
Cassie- Honey you are hitting the ball pretty good
Ben-Yeah right. I am hitting it like crap
Cassie-Oh, oops (sort of laughing in my head realizing just how little I do know about this sport)

Sixth hole:
Cassie-Wow it is getting hot out
Ben-I hate golf. It is so dumb. I don't even know why I golf
Cassie- (Again in my head thinking, I told him before we went he better not get angry, I sense some hostility)

Ninth hold:
Cassie-You promised you weren't going to get upset at golf
Ben- Well, I lied. These stupid clubs, this stupid grass, this stupid weather....(you get the point)

I look at Mary and almost as if she read my mind she smiles and nods.

Now that is a wonderful day at the golf course isn't it =)

Mary and I in the middle of a restaurant that we didn't eat at....Sorry I really did love that monster guy in the back.

John's Pass had some wonderful small tourist shops.






My little sailor. He was pretty excited about this hat.

We walked on the beach our last day before leaving and saw tons of dead jelly fish.

But we did find beautiful sand dollars and some amazing sea shells.

Me being a huge nerd attempting to entice the blow fish to, well, blow up =)

We went on this huge upside down triangle thing (sorry, don't even remember what it was called) but anyway almost blew me away. At the time there was a hurricane going through the Gulf and we got the very outside border of it. The weather was great other than a bit sprinkly on this particular day. So as you can tell I was the smart one and decided to wear a dress. Well needless to say I gave the restaurant people inside a bit of a show when the dress came flying up. All Ben could do was laugh at me.

Our wonderful little married life =)

Oh and don't forget the fishing. Both Ben and his dad caught some fish. Gary even caught a small shark.
