Sarasota Florida

We left for Orlando very early in the morning and stayed in Lakeland, Florida Tuesday night. Very in the morning on Wednesday, we drove to Sarasota to visit my brother Mark and his wife Sandi. We headed to Siesta Keys beach which is the #1 beach in the country. It was beautiful!

Here are Mark and Sandi. We really enjoyed our time with them!

The sand at Siesta Keys Beach was so white and soft and cool. It's never hot even in the summer as it is made from quartz. The water was cooler than we wanted and only Marc went up to his waist. You can't keep him away from the ocean! The rest of us just waded. We ate lunch at the coolest restaurant! Great seafood, a table by the water, and wonderful company! This was the sign out front.


Our table was on the waterfront and we saw this sign reminding us we were actually in Florida.

Outside the restaurant we found this cute cutout sign and took advantage of it.

We really had a great visit with Mark and Sandi! We drove back to the Orlando airport in the afternoon and turned in the rental car and got ready for the next part of our adventure.
