Sarasota

After leaving Alabama, 

we headed to Sarasota, FL to visit my extended family. 

We spent time eating yummy food at the
Bird Key Yacht Club, Venice Yacht Club, farmers market,
Daybreak Cafe, Blue Dolphin, and Old Salty Dog.
All delicious.

Blue heron on Lido Beach point.

We also spent an afternoon at the Circus and the Ringling Estate. 

It amazes me that one family can own so much incredible art.

Ca' d'Zan or "House of John"

The Ringling Palace

can you believe it was only used for 3 years??

I just love Sarasota, 

always have.

It's a beautiful city full of rich history and a lot of memories.
