Long weekend on the Gulf of Mexico


The three of us traveled for a long weekend to Anna Maria Island on the gulf coast of Florida in early February, to visit with Mom and Dad Groen and 5 of Mom's siblings and their spouses who were staying down there for a month.

We stayed at a beautiful lodging about two blocks from the Wielenga group, and I recommend this place to anyone . .across the street from the beach, and 2 nice pools on site. . .Tortuga Inn. We spent most of our time by the pool swimming, one morning at the beach, and one day at Myakka State Park to see the alligators on a boat ride. There were also a lot of birds to see, and a fun hike that was called a canopy walk because it had a structure high up in the canopy level of the trees.
