Siesta Beach

We Sarasota, FL

got up and headed to the beach today!  Yes, we really went to a beach today and it’s not just the name of a town like i tricked you yesterday .. snicker
 
It’s beautiful and there were people out everywhere enjoying this great day. 

This beach is huge and i mean huge .. you have to walk away to get to the water
  
They have these life guard buildings all over the beach.  Just like you see on TV .. cool huh?  Reminds me of Bay Watch

     
Temps are in the 80’s!  Yessss this is how winter is suppose to be.  As you can see many were out in their bathing suits
 
Well not everyone .. this guy refused to wear his shorts .. of course he stuck out .. YES that is my hubby .. he refused to get his shorts out yet he complained it is too hot and we should head north .. of course he is just kidding .. he better be cause I'm not leaving this warmth.
 
Heidi and I were the only ones who got into the water and we were wishing we had put on our bathing suits so we could play more.

Here is proof that Heidi and I got into the water.  We took pictures of each other taking pictures of our own feet .. Heidi’s feet have nail polish

Here i am taking a picture of my feet
 
my feet are ugly and don’t look pretty like her feet do 

   
They had a very large snack bar and it was filled with people eating .. it smelled so good but we declined.

I was tempted to get something from this shop though .. smoothies and ice cream but we had drinks in the car so i was good and since i have that scale going down i want it to stay that way
 
This couple was so sweet and gave me lots of information and brochures for the area. 

I love the look of this Harley .. nice looking huh?  Then i couldn’t resist the police 4 wheeler

 
We had a great time and apparently we were at the #1 Beach in the USA .. here are 2 signs that prove it.  It was a very nice beach.

It was another good day and the water was pretty good for the middle of winter.  Look at the temperature of the water

We came home and rested and then it was time to start dinner.  After dinner we sat by the campfire (it keeps the skeeters away and yes they are horrible when it gets dark)  We called it a night around 8 PM and came home to relax before bed time.
