New Playmate at the Beach

Posted on December 23, 2014 by Travel Spirit

My husband arrived in Florida yesterday and I was one happy ~~camper~~ beachcomber! I greeted him in the airport parking lot with a kiss and a homemade frozen Pina Colada. We enjoyed a delicious fish dinner at the condo that evening with our friends Wayne and Deanna. This morning following a fun bicycle ride, we headed to Fort Myers beach for relaxation and a nice long walk on the beach. Of course I took my camera to see what new sights I could capture…

This colorful mermaid kite caught my eye…

Fun Weekend with Dee

Posted on December 15, 2014 by Travel Spirit

My friend Dee came to visit me in Florida and I’d like to share some of the fun we had. Friday started off with a trip to Cape Coral Yacht Club for a “fun in the sun” drink and a bite to eat while watching the sunset! Unfortunately, the weather dropped about 10 degrees shortly before she arrived (68 degrees/48 degrees), so she had her Alpaca sweater and fingerless gloves on for the first evening.

We headed to Fletchers, a local club, for some live music and dancing.

Long Day

Saturday was a long day, a great day, a fun-filled day! It started with dropping one of my girlfriends off at the airport, followed by a trip to Fort Myers Beach with my remaining friend. We took a walk on the pier and saw men fishing, pelicans resting…

Had to get a close-up…

I think he was thinking, “Look at all of the pretty colors”!

First Few Days in Florida

Posted on December 4, 2014 by Travel Spirit

My two girlfriends (who are sisters) and I drove the 16 hours from Ohio to Cape Coral, Florida in two days and arrived on Monday afternoon. Back in the day, we would’ve driven straight through. To take advantage of the remaining sunshine, we changed into our bathing suits and headed to the pool. A friend who is like a relative very generously allows me to stay at her condo which is near Ft. Myers. There is a small stretch of beach with a fun restaurant bar called Cape Coral Yacht Club about five minutes from the condo. After relaxing for a bit at the pool, we headed there for a casual dinner and to watch the sunset.
