We went out of town for the day to visit Honeymoon and Caladesi Islands. At first it rained when we got there for about a half hour. I was bummed out, but after that the day turned out rather beautiful! I was able to get a couple of great shots in, and Caladesi was filled with many beautiful shells! This time I made sure I brought a ziploc bag for them. Who ever invented those was a genius and a lifesaver!! If you'll recall last time when we went to Egmont Key late in November of last year, I had to use my hat. Caladesi and honeymoon Islands are definitely worth visiting, though I will say this, Egmont Key has been my favorite Island to visit so far. It costs $8 per vehicle to get onto Honeymoon Island, and the ferry to get to Caladesi is $10 per person round trip. Not bad compared to a theme park friends~;o) Some of the highlights include cafes on both beaches, a dog beach, kayaking, biking, a playground for the kiddos, wildlife nature trails, shelling, and of course the water! Enjoy the pictures and until next time friends~:o)

Egmont Key Island in November

This past weekend we decided on a last minute venture to beautiful Egmont Key Island. I'm so glad we did! This little island is located just outside of exciting Fort Desoto! The only way to get there is by ferry, so.....by ferry we went! I love boats and I love being on the water so this was nothing new for me. However, the name of the island alone didn't sound very "catchy" to me, but I decided to give it a try anyways. To my surprise there was much to do! I had no idea you could camp on the island too! I won't bore you with every little detail, I'll just give you a quick little outline instead~;o) Egmont Key's highlights include: snorkeling, shelling, fishing, swimming, dolphin watching, hiking, nature trails, exploring Historic ruins, and a 150 year old lighthouse. Did I tease ya enough yet? If your ever on the westcoast of Central Florida, Egmont Key is certainly worth visiting~:o)
