My Favorite Place!

It is only April but I am already dreaming of our visit to my favorite place that will be coming up in September: Sannibel Island, Florida.

I first visited Sannibel in high school on a trip to visit my uncle who lived in Ft. Myers, Fl. I was fascinated by this tranquil, calming place and could never get it out of my mind.

After moving to South Florida I was determined to make the trip again and it was just as magical as what I remebered. I wish I could leave everything and take up permanent residence there, maybe someday, but now I will be content with visiting. I wanted to share this special place with my girls and they love it just as much as I do. From the expansive beach, warm, calm water, and unbelievable shelling, it is paradise!

I just wanted to share some photos of our previous trips, what is your favorite place?


The boardwalk to the beach at dusk. The evenings are the best time to walk and collect shells, you can also catch a few glimpses of the dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico!














Awesome Shelling! Our last visit we found over 10 varieties of shells, but you have to throw back the live ones! I want to keep them all (as evidenced by the bowls of shells throughout my house). It must be the cancer the crab in me!










My two bathing beauties! The water is so warm and calm, you can walk way out and still be only knee deep in water.

















My favorite time of day is shelling with the girls.
