Florida (Again) Day 3

On Friday, we woke up and decided to get breakfast at a place called Junkanoo for breakfast.  The windows were all open so we had a great view of the beach while ate.



After breakfast, we drove to Marco Island.  Neither of us had ever been there before and I'm so glad we made the trip.  On Marco Island, we first stopped at Caxambas Park where we saw dolphins swimming.  We enjoyed watching them, seeing the beautiful colored water and the pelicans up close and admiring the beautiful houses on the water.





We then went to South Marco Beach and hung out for a couple of hours.  The water was nice and warm and there weren't that many people around.




See Michael out in the water?

We checked into our next place to stay as there wasn't availibility at the last hotel for Friday night.  This was the first time we stayed at this place and it was pretty quaint and cute and the room was HUGE. (Not really)




Our last night in Fort Myers we went to Lani Kai to the rooftop for a drink.  We walked down to the beach where a guy was doing a fire show.  Guess who was picked out of the audience to join him?  See for yourself. 









A storm was supposed to be coming in so we stayed on the beach and looked out to the west over the Gulf and listened and watched thunder and lightning for over and hour and a half.  It never ended up raining and we just watched the storm move to the north northeast across the Gulf.  I so badly wanted to get a picture of the lightning and after a few attempts, I finally succeeded.  Not bad for a digital camera.
