Today is my last day at the beach. My mom rented out a beach cottage on Anna Maria Island, which in my opinion, is Florida's best kept secret. This is the beach I grew up coming to and I can't wait to bring Wyatt down here one day. The beaches are quiet and unpopulated, the water is calm and clear, and when you walk out the door...you're on the beach! I flew down on Tuesday night and my mom picked me up at the Sarasota/Bradenton Airport. Wednesday was spent with long time friends (Rhonda Sue) and family (my Aunt Julie) where we dined on the BEST jumbo fried shrimp at the Rod 'n Reel Pier, a local favorite. When I say BEST, I mean best by a huge margin! Thursday we spent the morning at the beach and then drove into town to get a chocolate shake at the famous Shake Pit. We then headed down to Sarasota, Siesta Key, St. Armand's Circle, and then back to Anna Maria Island to catch the Sunset by way of Long Boat Key. We took some fun pictures of Wyatt's name in the sand, and I had my mom pose in the shape of a "Y" so I can use it to make a photo collage of Wyatt's name. Friday we ate at the Waterfront Cafe where the fish tacos are to die for. We then met up with my best friend parents (Mama #2 and Dad, or Kathy and Dick to everyone else) and spent some time on the beach catching up on our tan and recent happenings. We met up with "Uncle Richard" for dinner, a former roommate of my dad's some 35 years ago. Now my flight leaves in a few hours and I'm already starting to miss the island. Good news is...we'll be back in October so baby Wyatt will be able to put his toes in the sand!
