We just returned from a very warm and highly enjoyable week at the Limetree Beach resort on Lido Key, near Sarasoata, Florida.

Last year we stayed further south on Siesta Key, but decided to move a bit north to Lido Key and we absolutely loved it. The Limetree is right on the beach and a very comfortable place to stay. The sunset pictures were taken from the balcony near our room, just to give you an idea. The weather was also absolutely fantastic – sunny and 85 every day, though it did rain a bit one evening. The end of the week actually felt like a typical northern Michigan August day, which a very good feeling after nearly 5 months of snow and cold.

Though the week flew by, we managed to get in plenty of sun time, Roger began teaching me to play tennis (wow, am I out of shape), we went out to dinner a few times, and did a little shopping at St. Armands Circle just up the street from our condo.

We returned late Saturday night (about midnight) and were greeted with a nearly completed kitchen (just waiting for countertops and appliances) and 60 degree weather! It was a perfect end to a wonderful week.

Spring Break 2008 — wooo hooo!
