Long time, no blog! What a crazy few weeks – to say the least.
I really do not want to leave this poor blog unattended for too long, so I come bearing warm-weather photos from a recent trip I took to Sanibel, FL!
We’ve had snow storm, after snow storm, after snow storm in Connecticut, and getting away to some place warm was so necessary for my sanity! My parents spent pretty much the entire month of February (and then some) “wintering” in Florida & invited me down for a visit. I couldn’t pass it up.
I had been a little stressed and this trip was exactly what I needed. For those still shoulder deep in snow (like me), I hope these pictures brings a little glimmer of hope of the warmer days to come!
Had to start off the trip with a bright manicure!
I loved everything about their Sanibel condo!Our path to the beach 🙂There were so many shells & funky washed up creatures all over the placeLove these! (As long as they were vacant! Some still had critters living inside)Snapshot of my Mom & I at dinnerTHE biggest crab legs I’d ever seen!Morning coffee in our cute little bungalowA day at the pool 🙂I got caught red handed trying to take a selfie under the palms 🙂Prepare for a slew of yummy food pics…Breakfast 🙂SO good!Blackened MahiFresh soft pretzelBEC on a croissant + the best iced coffee I may have ever had!A specialty popcorn store where we got to sample the most random, but mostly delicious flavors!Truffle Parmesan was delicious!Cutest pizza box!Michelbobs – one of our favorite FL traditions!EVERYTHING!Pretty flowers spotted at the Farmer’s Market…A cookie bar!I like this pic 🙂Sweet peppersMore fresh pretzels – cinnamon sugar!First time trying beignets!

All in all – it was the perfect getaway. I love having all these pictures – even though there was so much more that I was unable to capture!
I came home with a little bit of a tan & the motivation to push through the next few weeks of winter. We’re in the home stretch. Thank GOODNESS!!
