Florida Day 3

The third day of our vacation consisted of two planned activities a a few ad hoc ones.

The morning started with a beautiful, warm beach walk.  We love to walk the beach and hear the waves breaking on the shore,. I tried to upload a 22 second video of the waves, but it is not working.  So very relaxing to hear!

Since dinner was to be early, we decided on going to brunch at the Frog Pond restaurant, a place we have enjoyed many times in the past.  However as we were about to leave, we experienced a power outage.  It turns out a power line was across the only road out of our peninsula so our brunch plans were delayed.   But after 45 minutes it was cleared as we headed out to the restaurant where we enjoyed Monte Cristo omelets.

In the afternoon we headed for Sarasota for a Florida DTE Retiree dinner at Yoder's Amish Restaurant.  It was nice to catch up with friends.   We planned to eat at 4:30 pm since this restaurant often has very long lines and we did not want to miss our concert. Sure enough, when we finished dinner, the line was way out the door! 

After dinner we headed for a Jim Curry concert at a local high school auditorium.  We always enjoy these shows, filled with John Denver music, and this one lived up to our expectations.  They encourage singing along and many in the audience, including us, did just that.

We arrived early, and Jim and Anne spotted us in the audience and came out to talk.  After the concert we hung around and talked to them for quite a while, and were the last ones to leave.  It was great catching up with what they have going on with their concert tours.

We had an hour-long drive back to the condo across the Sunshine Skyway bridge which was beautifully lit up.  It was tough getting the camera to focus as we drove along, but this picture shows you the general idea.  

So we had a long, but very enjoyable day!  Nothing planned for today, but I'm sure a beach walk will work its way into our plans.
