Jen's Florida Trip - Day #3

     

      On Friday morning of our Florida vaca the girls and I took our time getting ready.  Around mid-morning we packed up and left for the beach!  I was super excited to drive out to Sanibel and Captiva Islands.  Unfortunately the bridge has a toll ($6!!), but it was so exciting to drive over the water!  I spotted many boats and little islands out in the water.  It was also really fun to look at all the beautiful beach houses.  

     We decided to visit Bowman's Beach on Sanibel. Once we arrived and set up our umbrellas I took a dip in the water because it was HOT!  The scenery was so beautiful and natural.  There were many different species of gulls, terns, and other birds flying around.  I was wishing that Patrick was there to help me identify them.  Next we enjoyed the sandwiches we had packed for lunch.  After that we just relaxed!       

 

 

 

 

 

     Back at the condo we showered, changed into comfy clothes, and settled down for a quiet afternoon movie.  We rented the comedy "That Awkward Moment."  At first I was not too impressed, although the movie did turn out to be funny and the ending was sweet.  For dinner we had our Il Pomodoro leftovers.  Thankfully, I remembered to take a photo of the dish because I forgot to take any at the restaurant!    

 

     After dinner we went out for ice cream at The Love Boat.  They have tons of flavors and all the ice cream is made in-house.  I chose oreo ice cream in a chocolate dipped sugar cone.  It was SO GOOD!!! A perfect end to a perfect day!
