| Sanibel Beach |
Finally, a real vacation-worthy day for Kim and Scott to
enjoy Sanibel Island. After yesterday’s
high stress, high weather crossing we awoke to a beautiful sunny day and
decided to walk around the island and go to the beach. Sanibel has a lighthouse on the eastern-most
tip and we started there. Lots of
tourists were just standing looking out to sea because several dolphin were
playing and fishing just a few feet off shore. The dolphins we saw yesterday would take one
quick peek above the rolling waves and dive back into calmer waters.
We walked and collected shells and walked some more. Sanibel is a lovely place full of condos and
inns and well-kept homes. There are
restaurants and tourist shops and a few other businesses, but it looks almost
impossible to buy milk or do any of the errands of daily life. Guess that’s why it’s a vacation destination
– one can escape the errands of daily life.
We stopped at the Lazy Flamingo for a snack and thoroughly enjoyed the
blue sky and kind temperatures as well as the town.

This evening we celebrated Valentines Day with steaks on the
grill and a good salad. Scott did the
cooking and Dennis did the cleaning-up so Kim and I felt very loved. Good guys – we were smart to bring them
along.

What a lovely way to celebrate Valentine's Day! I had a box of dark chocolate candies from the local chocolatier, and a HUGE card waiting for me when I awoke. We are some lucky chicks, eh?
