The boys and I love to spend our Sundays at our local beach, but since we have a visitor from New Jersey, my husband decided to take us all to Miami and South Beach to do a little sightseeing.

 

I have to admit that the water really was extremely tempting, and I cannot wait for all of us to get over the cold, so that we can all jump in together.

 

Miami Beach - downtown

 

Art Deco

An organic market at the walking street

South Beach

 

 

 

 

We brought a kite to the beach, since the boys could not go in the water. I have the feeling their dad had more fun with it than they did though.

The water was calm and beautiful, but the boys and I stayed out of the water, since we all have bad colds. We have had a few cold days down here, and that is all it takes to give us colds.

 

 

 

So how did you spend your Sunday?

The beach in January! I am so very jealous. I was chasing kids off my property on Sunday, in the snow, in negative temperatures.

You can take some great pictures. It sure looks like a lovely place.

I spend my Sunday shopping for groceries and than I went to Jo Ann's but could not find what I wanted.

Unfortunately I didn't spend my Sunday on a beach, but I wish I did. This made me so jealous, I want to be somewhere warm and sunny! It looks like you had a great day, and the boys had fun. Glad you got to enjoy the beach on a nice sunny day.
Simply breath taking scenery!

Great shots! Love the blues. They are gorgeous. We spent Sunday doing nothing. Woke up late, nothing looked good to eat, we were both kind of grumpy, actually, lol.

I spent my Sunday freezing here in SC. I'm so glad you have decent weather, that beach is so inviting.

Beautiful pictures, by the way!
