Sanibel Island update #1

As we set off this morning at about 10:20, we were setting off on an adventure! It honestly felt like forever getting there, about 2 hours and 30 minutes. To get to Sanibel we had to cross over this huge overpass. The beaches around us were very clear and calm.

As we arrived at our hotel, Holiday Inn, we unpacked our luggage and ate a very exquisite lunch! (no really! we had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches' along with my moms brownies) After lunch we set out to travel the island. The island we are on is made up of two parts, Sanibel Island and Captiva Island. We traveled all the way to Captiva Island (which was not that far) and looked at all the little shops, houses, and beaches. Some of the houses in Captiva are HUGE!!! On our way back to our hotel we stopped at a grocery store called Bailey's. We picked up some groceries we needed and then headed back to our hotel. Then once we made it back to our amazing hotel we quickly changed into our bathing suits and headed out to the beach. We were there for about an hour taking pictures, swimming, and walking the beach.

Then we headed back to our hotel room to get our showers to head out to Timbers Restaurant and fish market for dinner. It was very good according to my mom, dad, and sister who all got seafood, but I do not like any kind of seafood so I got pasta with marinara sauce. It was actually very god and our server was great!

Once we got back from the restaurant we returned to the hotel and we walked the beach and collected seashells. After collected many seashells we hopped in the car and traveled to Dairy Queen for some amazing dessert. Dairy Queen was very good, but it was so packed!!! Then when we returned to the hotel we all changed clothes and chilaxed! It was a great day and I cannot wait to see what tomorrow may bring!

(some of you may be looking for some pictures of us! well, i brought my camera, I brought my batteries, but I forgot my cord that hooks the camera to the computer!!! So the pictures on this post and the others to come are from online, but on Sunday once we return home I will update my blog with MANY pictures of the weekend)
