A perfect day at the beach {Part 1 of 3}

I went to the beach last Sunday by myself. It was such a perfect day...I can't even begin to explain. The weather. The water. The sun. All was in perfect harmony. While looking out across the most beautiful beach at the pristine blue water of the Gulf of Mexico, I realized exactly why I had such a strong desire to move back here. I needed to fill my soul with all this beauty and enjoy. Enjoy...enjoy.

It started out pretty normal. I went two parking stops past the Portofino condos towards the Gulf Islands National Seashore, one of my most favorite areas on the coast. Portofinos are imposing structures on the beach. Not my favorites, but no one asked me before construction begun. There are about four of these. Nice I suppose. But not what I imagine when I think of the beach.

Portofino ummm...big
