I had a wonderful time in Va Beach visiting family and friends to celebrate an early Christmas……but ran into that nasty nor’ easter which brought high winds, freezing rain, tidal flooding and huge Atlantic waves.

I wanted to get out on the beach to see if there was any driftwood, seashells or sea glass that had washed up but my bones have gotten spoiled by our warm Sanibel sunshine that I only made it to the boardwalk for the 5 seconds it took to snap a photo. Brrrrrr!

I’m finally thawing in sunny Florida so i’ll find out today where we can find some beach treasures without losing any limbs to frostbite.
