Well, we went back to Ft Myers FL again for our 2nd trip this year. Hoping to do another one before year end. Here is what we did..........
Friday...........Got into Ft Myers and settled in the house. Had to turn water etc back on. Got some groceries and got ready for our vacation.
Saturday.........We decided to take it kinda easy this night since we had a long trip on Friday. We got up and had breakfast then set out to the Shell Factory. This is a pretty cool place. It has a huge shopping place where you could buy any shell you could think of. They also had a nature park which was the highlight of this place. We got to watch the alligators getting fed and pet a baby alligator. They had lots of other animals there as well. They also had a whole dinosaur area set up with huge dinosaurs. This was a fun place! Afterwards we found a awesome wing place and got Logan's favorite "chicken wings. Afterwards we headed back to the house and went swimming in the pool. I love the pool there. It is soooo nice. We then decided to order a pizza from this GREAT place called "A little taste of New York". It was yummy! We put Logan to bed because Sunday was gonna be a filled day.
Sunday............We got up and ate breakfast and headed to the beach. We went to Ft Myers beach and found a small secluded area with only like 3 other people there. It was very nice. The water was a little more cloudy than previous visits but it was still like bath water. We spent the day there then at lunch time headed to the beach city to eat. We ate at a place right on the water and got to sit outside. We then talked Logan into heading back to the house to rest a little bit. We went back to the house and had drinks since it was sooo hot. We then went and jumped in the pool to relax. After doing that we decided to go back to the beach for the sunset. Logan had bought a boogie board earlier that day so he was excited to use it at the beach. We went back to the beach and it was AWESOME. It was beautiful put and sooo peaceful. Logan got on his boogie board and at one point actually stood up on it. He would be a GREAT surfer if we lived there! After that we went and had dinner at a place called the Crab Pincher. We ate there when we were there in May and it was one of my favorites. We then went home and put Logan to bed. It was a fantastic day.
Monday...........We went to Sanibel Island. which is a island near Ft Myers with white sand and blue water. This Island is known for shelling. The water again was not as blue but beautiful. Logan found lots and lots of shells and even 2 sand dollars. He was way thrilled. We then went and ate lunch at Jimmy Buffets Cheeseburger in Paradise. That was a yummy place! We headed back to the house to rest up for a few minutes. We headed back to Ft Myers beach and the boys rented a jet ski. Of course me being a mom was scared to death the see my baby on the jet ski with his dad. They were flying up and down the ocean and I was so scared. There were dolphins swimming beside them. i thought that was the neatest thing ever. Logan came back to shore and was thrilled he LOVED it. I am glad they had a great time doing that! After that we layed on the beach and watched the sun set again. We then went and got take out and went home and ate. Everyone was pretty tired from he eventful day.
Tuesday............Departure day............We woke up and had breakfast and went down to the pool. We spent most of the day at the pool because Marc and I were able to clean and pack the night before when Logan went to bed. it was nice to be able to relax in the pool before heading home. We left for the airport at 5pm. Right when we got on the plane and before taking off, Logan fell asleep. He slept the full 3 hours to Dallas. We got to Dallas and he was refreshed. I am glad that he does so well on planes now. He is a pro!
overall we had a FANTASTIC time and Ft Myers is our home away from home! It is nice to have a home to go to when we want to vacation!
