Florida Trip 1/29-2/9 Day 1 and 2

Day 1:

We arrived in Fort Myers, Florida not too long before midnight on Friday, 1/29. We picked up our rental car, got something to eat and went to M's parent's house to crash for the evening. It was very nice to see palm trees and not have to wear a jacket.

Day 2:

We drove out to Captiva Island on Saturday. It was M's dad's 72nd birthday and spent the afternoon with M's sister Kim, BIL Greg and brother Ray. We spent some time on the beach but it wasn't very warm and it was windy but it was fun to watch the pelicans dive for fish in the water. The water was extremely cold but I had to get my feet wet a little bit. We went to the Green Flash for drinks and lunch. On the way back to mainland through Sanibel Island, we stopped at Trader's for a drink and some window shopping before getting ready and going out to a Fort Myers local bar called the Comeback Inn that M's dad, aunt and uncle frequent. M's cousin's Jim and Lorrie were flying in the evening and they met us at the bar. It was basically M's family at the bar and a couple others but it was a perfect birthday celebration for M's dad being surrounded by much of his family on his special day. P.S. A round of drinks for 10 people cost $21.75!
