Been on the road and have just arrived at our new temporary HQ. Sitting here watching a big storm roll down the Atlantic coast. Tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings in effect. Welcome to Florida, I guess.

We just returned
Just got back from a trip to Orlando, Ft. Myers, Tampa and Sarasota. The weather was looveely. Enjoy.
VERY nice! Rough weather
VERY nice! Rough weather and all. At least your vehicle will escape the salt we're due for, out of fear of "up to two inches" of that other white stuff from long ago.
Enjoy yourselves!
Nice shot!
The beach is a photo op no matter what the weather and I see all that good 'rustic stuff' for your foregrounds just outside the door.
Some of my favorite beach pictures came from a bike trip to the Outer Banks during a time when gale warnings were posted.

Someone asked a while back how much junk you could haul in a Prius. About this much, and not much more:

P.S. 54+ MPG to FL, 99% highway.
Wow! Impessive cargo stash.

Sea oats
Nice. I'm in a couple of inches of snow in Nashburg (to watch the girls play b-ball) but could use a nice spring break at the beach. All three of my southknox sibs ended up on the FL right coast - Jax, StA and Merritt Island. WTF?
Hope you're having fun.
