Sanibel Island

Christal and I just got back a few hours ago from a perfectly awesome "Girls' Trip" to Sanibel Island, Florida. For those of you who don't know where it is, it's on the Gulf.........wwwaaaaaayyy down south. We love this trip and tacked on an extra day this time. Folowing are some pictures, though they don't do justice to the beauty of the place. One picture I don't have is a Spa picture (for obvious reasons). Anyway, the Spa at Sanibel Harbor Resort and Spa is most......hhhmnmmmm.....delicious. There are some incredible hands at that place. The massages...........oh my goodness!

From our balcony.......

The sunsets on the Gulf Coast are a true sight to behold.

Waiting to try a new restaurant, The Mucky Duck. It was good, but not nearly as good as the sunset right outside.

Our first bike ride around the island....so much fun, except that Christal had to protect me from the alligators! I'm kind of a chicken riding through swampy, out-of-the-way places. EW!!

Friends!!

Sanibel is known for its seashells. This was taken just looking down while I was on a walk. I collected many.

AAhhhh....first time this year for my toes in the sand!

The Lighthouse at Sanibel Island. So beautiful.

This sweet dolphin was swimming in knee deep water near the lighthouse at dusk yesterday (Sat.) There were so many of them, we couldn't keep count. Such an awesome sight.
