Anna Maria Island, FL

We took our summer vacation to Anna Maria Island. It is a beautiful island located near Tampa, Florida. We were able to stay in a very nice condo right on the beach thanks to Jason and Kim (their daughter plays softball with Elizabeth). We wanted to stay forever but Eric needs to get ready for school so we are now trying to get back to reality!
The kids love the beach and did not want to come home. They liked putting on their goggles and looking for fish/shells. They spent hours building castles/forts and digging holes in the beautiful sand.
This picture was taken on the pier in Venice, Florida (Shark Tooth Capital). We took a day trip to Caspersen Beach to search for shark teeth. They found three. The kids will be excited to show you.
We ate out everyday at a lot of fun restaurants. Their favorite was this ice cream/candy shop located near the Anna Maria pier. William was so excited they had blue ice cream!
Sunset walk along the beach. The kids found lots of shells.
