Florida feels like a life time ago already but we have only been back 2 weeks :(
We went to Anna Maria Island..about an hour or so from Tampa...as they say over here it was "awesome" !!! It really was !! White sands, turquoise warm seas...no high rises or chavs with their coolers and stereo systems hahahahah. We went with our pals and their gorgeous wee one which was a great idea, mainly due to the boys having fun with their dads while the mummy's sunbathed !
We also swapped babysitting and both couples got to go out twice ...very nice indeed ! The only issue I had with it was there was a very distinct lack of vegetarian food. I really struggled as it was fish fish fish (and no - real vegetarians do not eat fish !!!). I did have a rather funny conversation with one of the waiters about what I could eat. Firstly he asked if I ate chicken, and when I said umm no, he suggested that there was really only one salad I could have. As it included feta cheese and olives, I looked thru the salads to try and find another one (I hate both of these ingredients!!). I found one which sounded nice that had eggs. He looked and me strangely and said "well you said you don't eat chicken, eggs are chicken " ...yes yes I thought to myself, rub it in why don't you !!!
So I ate well ...lots of salads and a huge amount of watermelon !!! We also spent a night in the Hotel that we spent our wedding night in and visited our wedding spot on the beach - lots of lovely memories!!
It was exactly what I needed and I came back feeling refreshed and relaxed.
Here are a couple of photos...
