Day 5 - Monday 6/9

Today we decided to drive to Venice Beach. It is about 1 hour south of St. Pete.
When I had been to Venice Beach about 20 years ago - the entire beach was covered in shells. There was very little visible sand. You could search through the shells and find shark's teeth. I thought the boys might enjoy that.
Unfortunately, things can change a lot in 20 years. The beach was nothing like it used to be and had few shells. There wasn't even the possibility of finding shark's teeth.
We did pick up a few shells and then headed back to St. Pete. I was kind of disappointed but it was still a nice day. We ended up buying a couple of shark teeth necklaces back in St. Pete.

It stormed on our way back from Venice but Monday evening turned out to be very nice. The boys went for an evening swim in the pool and Brad an I went for sunset walk on the beach. There was a nice cool breeze and it was just a nice, peaceful evening with a beautiful sunset. And rainbow too! No stress, no rush, no worries - just peaceful. I don't know what other word to use to describe the feeling.

The rainbow


Just a cool sand castle we saw on our walk
