Water water....everywhere......

The shuttle taking off out of Cape Canaveral.  I could see it from the balcony 100 miles away!!

Being able to live on the water is a dream come true.  It is the absolute most relaxing thing we have done for ourselves. Something about just being close to the water and the waves and the smells and the wildlife makes us happier and healthier every day of our lives. We've seen so many beautiful things from our balcony on the 31st floor in Miami.  The very first day we were moving in we watched a shark circling in the water below us.  We've watched schools of dolphins playing as well as Manarays jumping.  On the week-ends we watch the big cruise ships take out on their journey to the Caribbean from their Ft. Lauderdale port. Watching the weather over the ocean is a real treat.  We see the big fronts come through and give us lightning shows better than any 4th of July celebration.  In Miami we have seen a total lunar eclipse and a full moon shining off the ocean that lights us up like its daytime. From our house at the Jersey shore we sit out and watch the sun set over the bay and toast the beauty.

We have watched waterspouts, hurricanes, rainbows that look like you could reach out and touch and the most beautiful clouds you could ever imagine. I have to admit, one of the most breathtaking views I've had so far is watching a shuttle take off from Cape Canaveral.  It was unexpected and quite breathtaking. Stunning colors left from the gas burning off staying in the sky for a long time.  I can't imagine not having this in my life. Thank God.
