Tara flew down to surprise me for my birthday, we had a great time hanging out. We’re loving our travels but we do miss our friends and families. It was great being able to see so many of them this winter.

Spending the day with Abbie & Tim, fun day at Lover’s Key. Abbie and I enjoyed the beach while John and Tim went kayaking through the estuary.

We picked these guys up on our way to Manasota Key where we found shark teeth and watched a beautiful sunset.

Here we were hiking around Collier-Seminole State Park. We discovered there was an easy access kayak launch. They also offered a full moon kayak outing, something to look into for next time we’re in the area.

Hanging out at Naples beach. Carl’s a little sunburned so we put him in the shade.

We were happy that Ben and Gwen could visit us, we had so much fun with them.

Ice Cream at the Royal Scoop. Originally we were going to go after watching the sunset but it was so busy, cars were waiting just to get into their parking lot.
We took a day off from the beach to go to the Shell Factory.

Gwen got to try her hand at shuffleboard, bocce ball and tennis but her favorite was pickle ball.

Swimming at sunset, some of us were more excited about it than others.

We also got to spend time with Mary Jo, and Jake. It was great to hang out with them in Florida.

We stopped in at World Bakery and we found out it was much more than a bakery. They roasted a whole pig for the weekend lunch special, it was delicious.

The last beach sunset in Florida, for this season anyway. It was a great winter!
