Ormond Beach, Florida. August 5, 2009.

We were in Ormond Beach, Florida, this past Wednesday to celebrate Betsy’s birthday. We had an ocean view room on the fifth floor of the hotel and had a wonderful view of the beach and the ocean, as you can see from the picture above.
We woke up in time to see the sunrise over the Atlantic. It was almost as good as seeing the sunrise from a ship at sea.

We were treated to a beautiful start of the day. Later in the day we spent some time on the beach and even got wet in the ocean. We had dinner with Betsy’s cousin Bonnie, who shares a birthday with Betsy. Bonnie and her husband, Dave, met us at a seafood restaurant where we were able to enjoy the fresh seafood.

The day ended as beautifully as it began with a beautiful moonrise opposite the balcony of our room. All in all, I hope Betsy had a nice birthday.

Nice to have you back in blogland George. It would appear you and Betsy had a wonderful time.
Your sunrise and moonrise shots are glorious – those had to be wonderful birthday gifts for Betsy in and of themselves!
