Siesta Key, off the coast of Sarasota was the most beautiful beach I've been to date. The sand was perfect, our motel was charming, private and convenient to the beach and the pool. Downtown Sarasota was the cleanest, prettiest city I've seen for it's size. It's actually a real downtown. I went to the farmer's market and discovered Whole Foods grocery store. Why isn't clermont progressive enough to have one of these gems? So green and earth friendly, it's really the shopper I want to be but can't afford to be. Anyway, off topic a bit...
It was wonderful to spend time alone away from everything and everyone except Wally and Noah. Noah was delightful and a joy to be around. He enjoyed the beach, the aquarium and the hotel. I got to see and do everything I wanted in one day and still feel relaxed. Although, I did not find much in the way of souvies to take home, but at a 2 hour drive, I think we will be spending time there again as our weekend retreat.
Oh, and as a sad sort of bonus, I got to see a sea turtle on the beach. It seemed as if she was stranded and the federal wildlife rescuer were on their way. We didn't stay long enough to see her get picked up as it was getting late and Noah needed to be in bed.
Most of my pictures lately have been on film and need to get developed, but here's what I have on digital of us thoroughly enjoying our trip.
