Sarasota, FL

 John and I got to spend a few days together in Sarasota, FL and boy was it beautiful! 

This is the entrance to the cute little hotel we stayed in.

 I love taking pictures of really cool looking flowers and plants. This one in particular was beautiful I thought. Sarasota was a cute city with a fun main street where we walked to breakfast, lots of boats and gorgeous beaches!

 this is a shot of the water while we were driving over the bridge on the way to the beach. I really like this picture because the clouds are so huge and the skyline is so teeny.

 the paths heading out to the beach from the parking areas were even pretty! and of course we are carrying our floats! we LOVED floating around in the water :)

 

 I refuse to get sun burnt so sometimes I wore my floppy hat. and John rocked his beach hat too - he's so cute!

the water was so calm, there were barely any waves! I didn't even know what to think of being in the ocean without the waves knocking me over. it was awesome :)

you didn't think you were going to see pictures of us at the beach and not see a picture of ice cream did you? I love ice cream. in a waffle cone. it's my favorite. this cone has chocolate almond on the bottom and vanilla caramel brownie on the top. mmmmmm! it was so hot out though that it melted as you ate it. it was a competition to see how fast we could eat the ice cream before it turned into just cream.

ok, one more beautiful shot of the beach, on a day where there weren't many clouds but there were some pretty umbrellas...
