Fun in Lover's Key, Sanibel Island and Captiva Island!

Yesterday was our last day at Fort Myers' beach.  We went back to our favourite state park, Lover's Key.  Pat and Adrian went kayaking while I entertained myself with a book on the beach.  They looked for manatees and gators but saw neither.  A good time nevertheless!

Today we drove to Sanibel Island.  It was yet another beautiful day in the 80's!  We rented bikes from Billy's Bikes and rode on nice paths covering most of the island.  One trail went through the J. N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge and along this route we saw many birds and fish, but alas no gators!

After returning the bikes we drove to Captiva Island to see how the other half vacation.  Million dollar homes line both sides of the single street which runs the length of the island.  We managed to find a nice spot to stop.  Adrian had a "Peace Tea" and Pat and I treated ourselves to lattes!  It was a great day!

Father and son fun!

The Grews go biking!

A couple of crows!

This tree is nick-named the "tourist tree" because its' bark is brown and flaky.

Peace tea has swag!
