it's that time of year.

after walking just over 13 miles on thursday in converse (aka worst walking shoes ever), flying to florida on friday and island hopping with my family was a much needed and very welcome change of pace.(i'll post photos when i get back to ny.) on my birthday, i woke up ten feet from the beach and spent the morning sitting under a tiki hut watching

wow the islands sound amazing!

yeah! they really were! and the cool thing is, they're not far from tampa (about an hour or two)... some of them are only accessible by boat, but you can drive to most of them, and they're gorgeous!

i'm not sure the exact route we took (i could ask my parents tho, if you'd like) but the islands we went to included, in order: longboat key, siesta key, osprey, boca grande, punta gorda, and pine island. (there were others, but i don't remember all of them)... i know we took the sunshine skyway bridge then headed south on whatever that main road is, but after that i dunno. it's basically a string of islands that runs almos the entire west coast of fla, but we just did a little section between st.pete and ft.myers (pine island is the island right before sanibel)...
