Got a vacation pic?

Just got back from the South West Florida tour. I was disappointed by Sanibel and Marco islands, but really liked Anna Maria, Manasota key and Lover's Key. Favorite city was Naples.

We arrived after a big storm so the beaches were full of shells, I have never seen this many. We even saw a sunk sailing ship. The most interesting thing we found was a pink blob that looked like a pig's tongue. It turned out to be sea pork.

Here is a tranquil sunset from North Naples:


You didn't like Sanibel? There has been "Red Tide" in all that area so you got lucky if you didn't experience it. I like the east coast of Florida better than the west coast ocean wise.

Next month I am going to Kiawah island, so I can compare. :)

On Sanibel I liked the shell museum. I like to look at houses from the road, and the main road just went through greenery, not much else to see. Maybe my expectations were too high.

The weather was in general horrible, not much beautiful scenery, but cool sites to visit. A game in the lovely weather, I think the winds were running about 20mph, steady. One of the big dork celebrating his goal, and Chelsea vs. Stoke City. The game was fantastic, and the fans were hilarious. The security for the game was a level above what we have.


A fellow Blue! Sweet
 
The kids coach came up through the Chelsea program before coming to the U.S. to play college soccer, so we were definitely going to a Chelsea game.


I guess college soccer a step down for him haha

Went to Stamford Bridge in 2012..hope to get back again for a game in the future...
