Sanibel

This island is amazing. This is our third day here and we're already so relaxed that I feel like queen of th sloths! Jason has been sleeping in while I wake up earlier and hit the beach for some low tide beach combing. I've already collected some really cool shells and I've seen crabs, fish, living shells and so many birds! I've got pictures on my camera that I'll post upon my return home of osprey, red-bellied woodpeckers, several varieties of terns and lots of little shore birds. We rented bikes for the week and we're exploring the island a little bit everyday. Yesterday I waded in the ocean and we swam in the hotel pool and basked in the sun. Today we'll probably head out on our bikes to grab some lunch and hit another bookstore. Tomorrow we'll head over to Ding Darling Wildlife Preserve to take a cruise around Tarpon Bay in search of manatees, dolphins and roseate spoonbills! Oh, yesterday we saw a dolphin from our lanai, swimming along in the surf in front of our hotel! I love this place!
