siesta key

back at the end of june, i headed back down to siesta key, fl for some sun, fun and more sun and fun. kyle had been down there for a wedding so i flew in on sunday morning. she and two other girls who had been at the wedding, jeannine & sarah, picked me up at the tampa airport and we headed down for a few days of fun on siesta key.


jeannine & sarah at skob


darrell stopped by on his way from naples to his training course in sarasota for his new job. he'll be living with our other h.s. buddy once his training is done.

the girls hanging out on the daiquiri deck


with our new bartender friend, mitch, at gilligan's where he works.


instead of just buying ice (we were saving time! and money!), we filled up our subway bag and dumped it with our sandwiches in the cooler.


the water and the sand are just amazing down there. so beautiful!


we were on the deck of skob - you can't tell, but it's raining in the background. jeannine and sarah had to leave on monday, but kyle and i stayed til wed!


dinner on st armand's circle


we found a big souvenir/beach shop and had an impromtu hat try on session!


we're total dorks...


but we died laughing and had way too much fun in that store!
