Sanibel Island, Florida
Monday, July 12, 2010
Today we got up a little earlier. Sarah wanted to run back to a couple of stores on the mainland (that's so fun!), so I went and rented a kayak and told her to have fun. The camera I thought was in the trunk of the car, however, was left in the room so I have no pictures of it. It was a great time! There is a kayak trail in the wildlife refuge that I took around. Got real close to a few really pretty birds, saw an osprey eating an fish way up in a tree, but no gators. I'm beginning to think that there aren't really any gators here, it's just a fun joke for the locals...
After the kayaking/shopping we decided we needed to rest some more, so we did. Then we went and ate a great lunch at a place called the Island Cow, then went back to the room for another nap. We like napping. Myself a bit more than Sarah maybe, but I think she'll come around.
Then we went and did some more shelling/swimming for a couple of hours until sunset. Just to warn you, today's pictures are going to be shell-heavy. We were having really good luck at low tide, and most of the cool, big stuff we found was still alive, so I just took pictures.

Enjoyed reading your entries on Sanibel. My husband & I were there in June & we enjoyed it...perhaps not quite as much as you guys, though. I'm afraid I compared it (way too often) to our favorite beach destination, Jekyll Island, GA. For me, Sanibel was a little too busy...I like a more serene beach experience. Glad you enjoyed it, though, and really enjoyed reading about your experiences there. Especially your power napping! Must be a man thing...my husband did a lot of that also.
