We decided to take a little weekend trip to the Gulf side of Florida and visit Sanibel Island and Naples. To get there we had to drive through the Everglades. We so so many alligators on the side of the road! Sanibel Island is a "shelling" island. There are shells everywhere and the kids had fun collecting them. It is a small, quiet place and covered in greenery, it reminded me a little of Hawaii.
We also went to Naples, which is a beautiful city, it reminded me of Newport Beach, CA. There is a big pier there and from it you are almost guaranteed to see a dolphin. We saw many dolphins there and it was fun to watch the sunset over the ocean, something we don't see on the east coast. The sand on the Gulf coast is powdery and white, like flower.
