Spring Break - Sanibel & Captiva Island

This year's spring break started in Sanibel, Florida, a relaxing island with some of the world's best shelling. The kids loved finding the "best" shells and saving them in these great cigar boxes they were given by a local. We stayed at the Sanibel Inn and enjoyed a nice room by the pool for lots of swimming and also enjoyed some fun bike riding around town. On the first day, it was raining, so we visited the Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum where we learned about the names of the shells and the rules for shelling. We also enjoyed some cool restaurants, including: the Bubble Room with crazy memorabilia all over the place, the Mucky Duck where we listened to great music on the beach, the Island Cow with great shrimp tacos, and the Lazy Flamingo where we bumped into some of Presley's HELC friends. The Minnesota Twins have spring training in Ft. Meyers and we were able to catch a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Twins won and we were lucky enough to catch our first baseball (Daddy did) at a major league game. A fun adventure!
