ANY beach. I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s crowded, isolated, sunny, stormy \u2013 something about the smells and the sounds soothe my soul. Perhaps it is because I was born in Miami Beach, FL. When I was little any time someone would mention Miami Beach, I used to jump in and say, \u201cNo. It\u2019s MY-Ami beach \u2013 not yours!\u201d My earliest memories were of sandy beaches and Good Year Blimps floating like clouds in the sky. My family is fond of saying to each other: \u201cI love you a million blimps full\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Not too long ago, a co-worker and I were discussing what was on our bucket-lists and we decided to cross some memories off together. One of hers was camping on the beach in the Florida Keys. (Check.) We took some time to stop in Miami Beach and see my old neighborhood and had breakfast and Bloody Mary\u2019s beachside at one of the local bistros.<\/p>\n<h2>beach bucket-list<\/h2>\n<p>My beach-related bucket-list item was a little harder. I wanted to go to Cabo San Lucas and drink tequila shots with Sammy Hagar on his birthday bash at his now famous Cabo Wabo Cantina. (Check.) Not only did we check this off my bucket list, but we got to enjoy snorkeling and swimming at Land\u2019s End, not once but two years in a row<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"clear: both;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3612\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_3255-copy.jpg\" alt=\"beach bling\" width=\"400\" height=\"579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_3255-copy.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_3255-copy-300x434.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_3255-copy-768x1111.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_3255-copy-1100x1591.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_3255-copy-530x767.jpg 530w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/h4>\n<blockquote><p>I purchased a <a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/jewelry\/bracelets\/triple-sandglobe-bracelet\">triple sand globe bracelet<\/a> from Dune Jewelry and chose Miami, Siesta Key and Land\u2019s End sand in honor of my three favorite beaches because whenever I look at it, or someone asks me about it, I am reminded of so many wonderful, happy memories.
