I just put it on. I am desperate for sun and Florida, so this will have to give me my fill until February. LOL.

although it has been in the 60's this week and sort of "wintery" looking.....


there is a DIS'er here from Canada and I feel awful because the weather is so not "typical" Siesta Key!!


They feature Lover's Key as well as Sanibel Island in the special too....both really awesome! But Siesta Key has won awards for its sand....actually the "Best Sand Beach In America 2004"!! It's made up of quartz.....very very awesome!

did i hear someone say "beach party"?

I live right by Sanibel and Lovers Key. They are both beautiful beaches! Every time I need to remember why we moved down here, we spend a few hours on one of them!

I think I need a trip up to Siesta Key though!

 

[simba928]

Siesta Key looks beautiful! I would like to know why every single person on there is wearing a bikini, though. Ya think they intentionally made it that way?

 

[lillygator]

I think most Floridians wear one..... but hey who knows? May have been a bikin convention that week??!!

 

[Rhonda]

I think most Floridians wear one.....

Wouldn't be caught dead in one, and I'm on the beach at least once a week!

 

[lillygator]

I was kiddin'....although I do notice most people here wear bikini's!!!!!!!!!

 

[simba928]

now i think the people in miami are wearing less than everyone else before. LOL. Of course I wouldn't know what they wear on the beach even though I have been there 3 times. The only time I go on the beach is in the evenings when I am walking on it sipping my Coconut Willie's strawberry smoothie. I think I have only been on the beach once and that was with my dad and we took a really long walk (didn't realize how far we went until we started walking back) along the water. I was more looking out towards the water than at the people, though.
