I was in Florida visiting my Mom and Jerry over their first wedding anniversary this past March 15th. To celebrate we planned dinner at The BeachHouse Restaurant in Bradenton and then drive down the coast to Siesta Beach where they were married at sunset 1 year ago. Joining the three of us would be Jim and Marilyn who introduced Mom and Jerry and also stood up for them at their wedding.
The setting of The BeachHouse right on the edge of the beach complete with palm trees and the smell of the salt water is wonderful. To top it off the food is good too, and that is saying a lot since I do not normally enjoy seafood.
After finishing dinner we made a mad dash South to try to beat the sunset. We arrived right as the sun was starting to set so Mom, Jerry and I rushed to the edge of the sand to get a few quick pictures with some sunlight still in them.
Soon Jim and Marilyn joined us along the waters edge for some more pictures. None of us noticed that most people on the beach were facing the other way. Another person on the beach pointed out a large glowing cloud far off in the distance. Turns out the Space Shuttle Discovery was being launched from Cape Canaveral on the Eastern coast of Florida. I of course had to incorporate that into some photos.
Earlier Marilyn had mentioned that she had just signed up for Facebook and was still figuring out how to post pictures. I decided to get a couple pictures of Jim and Marilyn to get her started.
By the nights end Mom, Jerry, Jim and Marilyn were already talking about how they would celebrate the second anniversary next March 15th.
