From Cold to the Beach

Hope Sound National Wildlife Refuge Beach

One awesome thing about the arrival of April this year is Spring Break! Well, I don't actually get a Spring Break vacation, but Chris does. We decided to keep it simple this year.

Florida! The travel day was fabulous. We went from cold weather to beach in six hours!

Average high temperature for the Baltimore 10 day forecast is about 50 degrees for the next 10 days with lows in the mid 30's. The 10 day forecast for Jupiter has highs averaging in the low 80's with no lows expected below 68 degrees!

And that is why we are here! We need a taste of summer, right this very minute.

Pelicans on Patrol Over Home Sound Beach

The warm temperatures and the bright sun are a stark contrast to what we have been experiencing in the Baltimore area. We actually planned our travel so that we were able to fly south and be on a beach before 1PM. It was magnificent. 

Yesterday was a beautiful beach day filled with bright sun and few clouds. I could tell that it is still the high season in Florida, the beach was crowded. There may have been 20 other people on the beach. 

I am happy to report that our golf clubs arrived without incident. One of the great things doubt Southwest is that bags fly free and so do golf clubs.
