Finally...Summer Vacation in paradise!

Vacation used to be a luxury, but in today's world it has become a necessity.  ~Author Unknown

Greetings from beautiful Sanibel Island! We finally made it!! It seemed to take so long to get here as we all needed this vacation so badly!! We hace been relaxing and getting settled in and it has been great!! Yesterday (Sunday-Father's Day) was our first full day here and we spent a lot of the day on the beach.  The tides aren't great yet and the shelling is not great but that's okay....it will improve!!  I was hoping to get the remnants from Andrea but alas we were too late!! :)

Jess and I snapped some pics to share! Enjoy being on the beach with us!!


Jess ran across these mini sand dollars while digging with hubby Brad (in background).  Of course they all went back after this photo shoot!!

This light guy looked like he might be dead, but he was still moving the little hairs around!



I found this little guy up on the beach, he was obviously dead and dried out!
 Our "home" this week, Island Beach Club.

Here are Brad's shells for the day.....notice the circle at the top!! Yep....that's a Junonia piece!!
Jess' shells

We had Father's Day breakfast at Jerry's and dinner at Sanibel Fish house!! We really enjoyed them both, and the Fish House will very likely become a new favorite!!

Like I said, the shelling is not that great YET! But hopefully we will have some great shell reports to share soon!! We will keep you posted!! : )

  4. Hi. So happy to see you are on Sanibel. I am a little surprised that you are staying on island since you live in Ft Meyers but would do the same if I were in your shoes. Happy shelling! Please post lots of pics!!
