Our Family Vacation to Siesta Key, Florida



These are photos from our family trip to Siesta Key, Florida. There were 8 of us who went; myself, Curt, Mom and Dad, my sister Jodi, my brother Michael and his two girls Karley and Makenzie. We rented a house on Siesta Island from VRBO.com (great site) Curt and I went and stayed with his brother Paul in Sarasota for a few days as well. Here was a run-down of our itinerary...

Wed: Flying and swimming in the pool!

Thurs: We went to the famous Siesta Beach. Karley practiced her boogey-boarding and Makenzie tasted saltwater for the first time!

Fri: We went to Weeki-Wachess Springs were we saw an underwater mermaid show, went on a short river boat ride and the kids went swimming in the springs; it was freezing. We also had dinner at Paul&Curt's house.

Sat: We spent the day with Curt's brother Paul and his partner Curt. We went to breakfast, saw the movie The Smart One. Then we all went out for pizza. My 2nd cousin Michelle and her husband who live near Daytona came over for a visit as well. Happy 50th birthday Taleb!

Sun: We went to the Mote Aquarium and saw many animals as well as took a two hour boatride in search of dolphins and manatees. We saw some from afar and gorgeous million dollar homes!

Mon: We hung out by the pool! And swam. In fact, we swam everyday at least twice a day! Sometimes as early as 8 AM.

Tues: Back to the beach! Michael's friend Coach B came up with his wife from Venice, FL. We swam at their pool and the private beach connected to their resort. Curt, Jodi, and I also visited the outlet mall to visit the Coach and Dooney & Burke Stores. No purchases but lots of wishing.

Wed: Flying back and was it nice to be back home!

Sounds like you were busy, but had a ton of fun! Question, how do you add music to your lbog? I have been wanting to do that, but cannot figure out how!
