Below is a slideshow of some of the best pictures I took from our vacation to Florida last week. We spent six nights in Sarasota and took day trips to Busch Gardens in Tampa (2 days) and SeaWorld in Orlando (1 day). On the way there and back, we stayed the night in Valdosta with my brother-in-law Chris and his wife Jenny, so we’re grateful to them for allowing us to save a little on lodging.
Siesta Key Beach was great, by the way, if anyone’s looking for a beach to visit along the lower Florida Gulf Coast. It had plenty of free parking, and it’s a beautiful beach with some of the whitest sand you’ll see in the Continental U.S.
Now that I’m back, I guess it’s time to start planning my next vacation…

I still remember feeding the lories when I was last there nearly 20 years ago. It was a blast.
