Getting ready for Florida....very cool

A week away from taking the clan to Florida. Spring break has been a ritual for me since my brother and I vanned down to Daytona beach in 1980. Now I can't say that I still go to the "all the Wild Turkey you can drink" parties anymore....but it still a great time. The west coast of Florida....to be exact...Captiva Island is one of the best places in the United States. The beaches are clean, the water is warm....it's a close community with great places like the MuckyDuck right on the beach. Nightly people mosey over to the duck to drink cold beers and watch the sunset. This, after a long day of doing absolutely nothing!

If you are looking for excitement this is not the place. The crazies thing they have is Monday night crab racing at Tweens.

I am looking forward to slowing time down for a week and building sand castles with my kids.. reading on the beach with my wife.. maybe sneak in a little Wild Turkey..can't get any better.
