37 Years of Siesta!

37 years! Every 2 years for approximately 37 years, my extended family has been going to Siesta Key near Sarasota.  A truly beautiful place.  Won the "#1 Beach in the Country" award a few years back.  But we've known it was the best for 37 years.  Very white 'fluffy' sand, tranquil ocean like glass, quaint little town for shopping, Big Olaf's ice cream, hole-in-the-wall seafood places, palm trees, amazing sunsets every night, breezy evenings on the beach, and just an overall great time spent together as a family.
Some of my favorite pics of 2013...


Two of my joys in life!
