Happy Easter!

It's Easter Sunday already! What a beautiful morning on the island. We were all sad to check out of the condo yesterday. We had to be out the door at ten, so the boys were rather zombie-like as we pulled it together for the departure. The few hours before check-in to the hotel was spent hanging around; the kids on bikes with their friends, and Bill and I in Captiva. The Holiday Inn Sanibel is a total dump, they upgraded our room after a battle, but we're still a little creeped-out. We're going to the Bubble Room for our Easter meal. The boys both heard that it has good cake. Have a great day!

Hump Day on the Island


After a breezy, cool Tuesday, today was simply gorgeous. The wind was calm and the temps were in the upper sixties. We continued with our lazy routine, and then drove to Captiva Island for a late lunch. The Mucky Duck restaurant is a must-stop for beach front dining. We all had fried seafood. Yum. And we are totally into Key Lime Pie. The boys hacky sack skills are getting better by the day, too. We can't decide if we like these islands better than the frequently visited island of Martha's Vineyard. A lively conversation ensues!
