Delray (Beach) #AtoZChallenge #blogboost

Delray Beach is a city of about 70,000 people on the East Coast of Florida.   Last year, for Blogging from A to Z, I blogged an entire month on "Florida Outside the Theme Parks" and I encourage those who visit Florida to visit more than Disney or Universal Studios (as exciting as it is to spend time there).

Delray Beach offers the non-theme park tourist everything from wildlife preserves (Wakodahatchee Wetlands - 50 acres of previous wastewater utility property, amazingly free of charge) to the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens.  Morikami, especially is a one of a kind gem, which I plan to blog about more later this month.


Full disclosure: I am seriously thinking of snowbirding here after I retire. We'll just have to see what the future will bring.  Just blogging this makes a lot of good memories return.  I just hope I can make it happen.

Today, at the risk of turning this into a travelogue,  a small taste of Delray Beach for you for "D" Day.
An iguana at Wakodahatchee.

It really is OK to have too much fun.

To someone visiting in January from the frozen north, it was so beautiful just to see the water and sun.
And speaking of the outdoors, how about an arts festival?

  4. Lovely pictures! I wouldn't mind doing some snowboarding there just about today! What part of "it's spring" did they not understand? Who sent this onset of snow our way today?

  5. I live in Central Florida and have never visited Delray Beach. Thanks for the motivation. When my husband retires in a year or two, we plan to visit these kind of places and explore our state more. We'll put this one on the list.

  6. Snowbirding? Or just moving? Moving might be nice ;)

  8. Florida has so many beautiful beach communities. It would be hard to chose only one.
