Anna Maria Island Trip

We drove out to Anna Maria Island one day while we were still in the hotel. We just wanted to get away and enjoy the beach (that is a big reason we moved to Florida after all).

Driving across the Sunshine Bridge

Check out all of that water

The top of the bridge

The sign for Anna Maria Island...you know it's cool...it has a dolphin AND a manatee on the sign!

A natural bench to watch the tides (I tried it out but it was wet)

A very cool brown pelican

This brown pelican let you walk right up to it. This wasn't zoomed in

Trying out the water...it was a little nippy

You can see the sunshine bridge in the distance

The base of the Sunshine Bridge...heading home

A sail boat that just went under the bridge (maybe it was the one in the earlier pictures)
