70F and sunny today. We drove down to Long Boat Key to see how the rich people live but found it a bit depressing. Anna Maria Island is much nicer - just more relaxed, and I like the fact that all the development is low rise.
Went to Coquina Beach where we paddled, sunbathed, collected shells and talked about coming back here next year. Maybe invite my parents next year as well as Mike's mum.
Kids had a 'single scoop' ice cream. I keep falling for that one. If a single scoop is that big then I dread to think how big a double scoop is. Still it would explain all the people who are so fat they need mobility scooters to get round Disney or the mall.
Had lunch at the Gulf Drive Cafe - not quite as good as their breakfast but a spectacular location overlooking the beach, and lovely staff.
Kids then spent the last few hours of the afternoon in the pool. Ellie is now trying to dive, which is a bit difficult with armbands on, and involves bellyflopping in then looking delighted with herself.
Went over the road to the beach for the sunset. It was spectacular, so we took about a million photos, and raced around being stupid.
Then came home, tried to empty the freezer into our bellies, put the kids to bed, and packed.
Tomorrow we go back to Maine. They've had about 18 inches of snow in the past week. The drive has been ploughed but apparently the snowbank at the end of the drive is so big it's blocking the garage. The path to the front door will be horrible to dig, but I have to do it soon so the oil delivery guy can deliver oil.
I have so much to do when we get home, and then I start work next Monday. Yikes...
