Delray Beach- The Quiet Before Summer Vacation!

School will be out in a week and it has seemed like the calm before the storm here.  Soon the beaches will fill with families who’ve come to Delray  to visit relatives and play at the beach.

 

Some of our retail stores will close for the summer and head north to open their stores there.  Restaurants will announce summer specials (residents love this!) It’s a win-win situation for us all.

People don't notice whether it's winter or summer when they're happy.”                       Anton Chekhov

 

 

When I think of summer, I think of ice cream cones and root beer floats.  Actually, since it’s warm in Delray all year, I pretty much think of ice cream all year!  We had to stop by Ellies one afternoon for our floats!

Hi Kathy.  Please stop telling people just how wonderful Florida can be in the summer.  It's nice to have a little break.

Wonderful quotes to remember, Kathy. I know many are looking forward to their summer vacations, and I know the beaches in Delray has a lot to offer them.

Kathy, I particularly liked the "pack up your troubles and send them to camp."

I'm still laughing.

Have a happy summer.

My favorite time when i live don the beach was late spring and early fall, before and after the crowds arrived. One of my favorite songs is Jimmy Buffett, When the coast is clear.

Don't tell anyone how nice it is here during the summer, we don't have to stand in lines for dining and the traffic is smooth and the breeze is so cooling. Sh.....don't tell!

I imagine that one day I will long for a year round warm climate.  But for now, I like having the seasons.

Kathy I can't imagine what it is like living in a vacation community.  It must really change the character of the down during that time.

It must be so much quieter there with all the snowbirds gone. It would be far too hot there in the summer for me, but I am sure you make the best of it!  The walks in the morning must be wonderful!
