Beach trips are probably our favorite thing in the world to do. We make as many trips as possible to the 30A stretch of beaches every summer. But this year, we just couldn't wait for summer, so we headed south for spring break: Sarasota. It was a great trip. We pet rays, saw a disgusting giant squid, and talked to sea turtles at a research aquarium; toured a bird rescue center where they had a dozen storks with wooden legs; marveled at all the odd and beautiful tropical plants at the botanical gardens; and, of course, played at the beach and enjoyed the lazy evenings of a beach town. It was a fun destination and a relaxing break from the day-to-day of school, work, and keeping a family on track. We're hoping the kids will decide to go to college there (
New College of Florida!) so we'll have an excuse to visit all the time.
