Enjoying the Florida Life.....

A couple of weeks ago my daughter and I traveled to Sarasota, Florida to visit my parents. The time spent there was wonderful and the weather was in the 70's - much better than ours in the 40-50's! A lot of time was spent at the beaches - needed to pretend I was a "Floridian" instead of a Canadian!

The main beach we frequented was Venice Beach....loved the sand and sea....I couldn't even imagine laying on our beaches in Canada in the month of February - can anyone say ice cube??

This was my view on our first day there....
Daddy lookin' for shells....
Enjoying the sunshine....
Do we look like we're getting our daily dose of Vitamin D??
Future Baywatch beauty....

We spent many meals eating out at fantastic places, but this night was spent at the diner of Dale and Ruthie - the best in Sarastota! The best ribs in town and a key lime pie to die for!! Thanks Dale and Ruthie - you're the best!

We're on their calendar - isn't that cute!
The hosts and the fabulous dinner!
The resident parrot in their tiki bar....
He's so friendly with everyone!

Stay tuned for more sunny posts from Florida!
