Yesterday was the first day of kinda cold temperatures this Fall. While it was not too bad it was defiantly jacket weather. So to put us back in the warm weather mood we are going to take a trip about 1,600 miles South. These were pictures taken when I went down to Florida in September 2005.
My Mom had moved to Sarasota, Florida in May and had been staying at my Aunt and Uncle's condo. She had found an apartment and needed to get the rest of her stuff out of the storage unit and down to the new apartment. I was able to let the moving company into the storage unit and then a couple days later I flew down. The idea was I would have a couple days of vacation time and then could help get her settled into the apartment. Turned out I timed my trip just right though, the truck took a little longer to get to Florida then we thought it would and arrived the day after I left. This turned out to be ok, the movers did all of the lifting and got everything right where my Mom wanted it.
Not having to deal with moving anything gave us plenty of time to do a little site seeing. I had not been to Florida since I was about 9 years old and then we were at Disney World in Orlando. While I did not fall in love with Florida like I think my Mom would have liked (sorry Mom!) I did have a good time. I think my favorite thing about Florida though was the beaches, not because I enjoy swimming (I don't) but because it made for some really cool photos.
The first 3 photos were taken at Siesta Beach on Siesta Key.
The last 4 photos were taken on Bradenton Beach which is North of Sarasota.
While Florida is a nice place to visit I just don't think I could deal with the heat and the seasons never changing. I am sure I will go back again sometime soon, just not sure when.
