sanibel
Hello, this is Ashley!
We had a great time at Sanibel this year! Mom, Dad and Tay left at 4am and beat me to the Fort Myers airport since my plane was delayed from JFK. This is the point of the post where I give Song Airlines a shout out! The TVs in every seat is awesome! The construction of the new causeway didn’t look great but we were all pleased there was vegetation left on the island after Charley. If you never saw the island without the Australian Pines you wouldn’t know anything had changed. You can now see the lighthouse at all times and biking on Periwinkle is HOT! Bailey’s and Joan’s Book Nook survived. The Sayana condo was wonderful and the waves were non-existent! It was a beautiful clear blue ocean. Let me know if you would like the link to all our pictures on Ofoto. The highlights include Mom’s and my 12-mile bike ride to Captiva and Tay and Dad swimming in a dark pool at 9:15pm because mom grabbed the bike key instead of the condo key. Ahh, memories. We did miss Daniel and have no alligator pictures because he couldn’t come. Next year expect to see pictures of Daniel and me riding Segways around the island! The last night there we started my birthday celebration with a homemade cake, balloons, sparkly flip-flops and a subscription to the Sanibel weekly paper. Hopefully my tan will last a while. 
After a week, I flew back home on Song and Daniel met me at the airport. His ride on the subway took over an hour to get to JFK! Anyway, it was a great trip and can’t wait until next year.

It’s amazing how close I got to this egret!
