Last Day of Summer...

Well tomorrow school starts for the 2010-2011 school year. Yesterday we got to see a bunch of our former (and future) students when they came and got their schedules, so it got us excited for the new year. We really wanted to spend our final day of the summer doing something outside. An early morning rain led to a nice, breezy, and slightly-less hot day. We drove down to St. Armands and had lunch at Columbia (it was only $16 for lunch, including a yummy mojito and the 1905 Salad!) and then made our way down the beach to Longboat Key. We found a practically abandoned beach access and went swimming for awhile. The sand isn't as nice as Siesta, but the waves were pretty big and it was really peaceful and quiet. We felt like we were on vacation for the day! We drove the long way home, up the rest of the LBK to Holmes Beach and Anna Maria. It was a great way to spend the afternoon. Now we're relaxing and getting ready for a feast (more on that later...). Here are some pictures from our "Sunday Funday."
