Celebration to Sarasota

We awakened to another beautiful day!  Steph had a workout scheduled, and David had to work (poor slob) so Bill and I decided to take a walk.  Celebration is a beautiful town and a great place to walk.

We saw a hawk looking for lunch...

A turtle which we moved off the street (using our lessons learned to move him to the side of the street he was facing when we found him)

And this cool bird. 

After Steph got home we headed to Lake Alfred to the Lavender and Lace Tearoom for lunch.  It was adorable AND delicious!  

Bill, Steph and I at the tearoom. 

After a bit of downtime at the house.... 

We had a lovely dinner in downtown Celebration at the Imperium.  Deeeeelicious!

The next morning we headed out toward Sarasota by way of Tampa to visit Bill's wonderful cousin Barbara.  She's a hoot, and I love her!

The ride to Lido Key from Tampa is beautiful and included this gorgeous bridge (you know I love bridges)  

We got to Lido Key and they were doing beach replenishment.  So sunset included bulldozers and amazing work being done...   

Still a gorgeous sunset.  Unfortunately our friend Wanda had to fly home to attend to busted pipes and  flooded floors.... but we hope she will be back with us soon!
