This picture was taken at the Dry Dock Waterfront Grill, another popular and excellent dining spot in Longboat Key, Florida. We went because we heard we could see dolphins there, and lo and behold, we did.

Here's another view of the MarVista. This time however, the sky is clear. I think the overcast pictures are better.

Photo of the beach at Siesta Key, Florida, just outside of Sarasota. I'll have to admit, I didn't realize how great the gulf coast of Florida is until we were lucky enough to stay at my cousin's condo at Longboat Key, Florida.

Taken from the park near Marina Jacks. The bridge in the background takes you to St. Armand's Circle, a great place to shop, and to Longboat Key. The building with the dome is under construction.

Anna Maria City Pier

Pier, originally uploaded by wyliemac.

This is a view of the Anna Maria City Pier in Anna Maria, Florida, one of Sarasota's barrier islands. There's a restaurant in the building at the end of the pier. I can't tell if it's good or not since we did not eat there, but the food did look apetizing.

Seahorse

Our tour guide from the Mote Aquarium just outside Longboat Key and Sarasota, Florida holds up a seahorse. She caught this seahorse by dragging a net behind the boat. Afterwards, she released it back into the bay.
