This weekend I had a speaking engagement at Sanibel Harbor Resort and Conference center. This became an opportunity for the family to visit Sanibel, Captiva, and beaches in that area. I am not a big fan of resorts - I like to park my own car and would rather be able to walk to my car just out of the door of the hotel (pictured - looking out at our view at the resort). I also like the ability to eat breakfast for less than $20. However - Everyone at some time should visit the beaches at Sanibel and Captiva. Incredible shells and beautiful blue water (pictured swimming and shelling in the warm gulf waters).
After that it was to Fort Myers Beach staying at a little motel "Carousel Inn By the Sea" which was more to my liking. We could walk to the beach, cook our own food (full kitchenette and a grill outside of our room) and at the beach there were more sand dollars than I could imagine. At dinner that night I saw the "Lobster Claw", for $2 you could use a claw to try and catch your dinner (pictured). On Saturday we went to Lover's Key State Park (Florida State parks are awesome), and got there at park opening - the girls went crazy with shell collecting and there were lots of great shells.
