Highway A1A, Florida

Decided to take the slow, scenic route yesterday and drove the A1A in Florida.

This is the life. ..................... Stopped here for a walk on the beach and lunch, a perfect break from the stop and go driving along A1A.

These little guys were running all over the beach, chasing the waves back into the ocean, poking their bill into the sand searching for food. I think he's a sandpiper but not 100% sure.

This is the tourist route, development on both sides and now and then a chance to see or enjoy the ocean.

You are travelling the outer banks with the island connected by bridges and causeways. The day was warm, our windows were down and we were drinking lots of water.

I remember "Dad, are we there yet" from those little voices in the back seat years ago. Well,  after five hours we did arrive and will stay here until our cruise leaves on Sunday.
