A few weeks ago we went down to Fort Myers to Mary and Wally's house. Gram, Gramps, Harold and Pat were also in for the week and we had a jam-packed weekend with them all, especially Gram and Gramps. We got in late on Friday night and then started bright and early Saturday morning by jumping on a boat and riding out to Cabbage Key, off the coast. There we had one of the famous cheeseburgers that is rumored to have helped Jimmy Buffet write his famous song. Then Josh and I took a hike around the island before heading back to the dock to head back to Captiva Island. That day was a lot of fun and we had saw so much wildlife throughout the day including osprey (including babies), manatees, gopher tortoises, lizards, and even dolphins playing in the boat wake. Then on Sunday we got up even earlier and went shell hunting on Sanibel Island with Gram and Gramps, followed by a very, very tasty breakfast at a restaurant called the Island Cow. From there it was back to the house to clean up and head north back to Jacksonville. It was great to see everyone and we are very thankful to Mary and Wally for all the hospitality!
