A Little Getaway for Us

Ah.... There is nothing better than sipping on a margarita while sitting along the water.

While I was off work for Spring Break, we decided to take a drive.  We packed an overnight bag knowing that we would stay somewhere for a night or two, and we left......  We have done this before .....not knowing where we are headed.  This time we headed down south to find some warmer weather.  Marco Island seemed like a good spot!  But, when we arrived with no reservations (cause that's how we roll), we could not find any place to stay.  So, we headed north and ended up in Naples.  We found a nice little place on the bay called the Cove Inn and paid for the room.  The room was nice and had a nice view of the bay.  And as an added bonus.... the water taxi picked up right at the docks.  Our plan was to go get dinner and then take a water taxi.  While searching for things to do, I came upon a place called Tin City and it looked promising!  Many shops to look in and it was along the water!  Just our cup of tea!  

We ended up eating at a nice place right on the water and as you can see we enjoyed it!  Best grilled grouper sandwich around!   

Afterwards, we walked around the shops and the buildings.  Maybe it was the margarita that went to his head, but, Gary was looking at this boat like it was already his.......... 

When we returned to the room, we decided that it was a little too chilly for the water taxi and decided to get up in the morning and drive along the water and see where we ended up the next night.  

Fort Myers Beach looked promising but no vacancies..... After all it was Spring Break!  So, we kept driving......  of course sightseeing along the way!  Captiva Island was by far our favorite but not somewhere that you can just "pop in" and stay. 

We enjoyed our drive and stopped at some interesting places along the way.... but, decided to go on home and "plan" a trip back to that area at a later and warmer date!  All in all, it was just nice to get away and do some sightseeing!
