Sanibel Island, FL
Barlow Family Vacation 2018
Upon arrival, we immediately hit the beach.
Sanibel is known for it's shells.
We collected hundreds and it was one of the highlights for all of us.
Our animal lover, Brooksie, requested a trip to a zoo.
The nearest one was the Naples zoo about an hour away.
More beach walking.
The second day was the warmest day, and the only day we were hot enough to brave the pool.
We went mini golfing, and on a nature walk through JD "Ding" Darling Nature Preserve on day three.
We even saw a real, wild alligator.
Lizard!
I love silly signs.
We found tons of sand dollars.
Brooks and Quinn.
Day four was by far the coldest, like morning temps in the 30s.
Kylie and I had a pedicure, and then we all went to a movie.
On our last full day, we decided to take a boat ride out to a little island for a shell collecting adventure.
The boat ride lasted about 20 minutes and it was FRIGID.
It was still cool once we were there, but totally worth it.
We walked around the island and collected some really cool shells.
This is about half of our shells.
Kylie wanted to give one to everyone in her class.
Also, a highlight for Jon, he found the third rarest shell, called a Scotch Bonnet.
Everyone on the boat, including the hardcore collectors, were very impressed and a little jealous.
Sadly, our vacation came to an end all too quickly.
Here we are saying good bye to the beach!
