So today we visited the Ringling Museum Gardens. I would have loved to tour the museum and the mansion but sometimes when you are visiting with family you do what is cheaper instead of what you really want. The gardens are very beautiful and we had a really nice walk around the grounds. We were able to take a lot of nice pictures.

I am not sure what is on the agenda for the rest of the day but I do know that Sarasota is very beautiful. It is interesting to me that summer is not the peak season in Florida the way you would normally think of it.  Apparently all the snowbirds like to visit Florida in the winter during the snowy season. It has been wonderful traveling with my boyfriend because he is so great to me. I didn’t have any doubts about our relationship at home but I have even less doubts now. I love him and I love exploring the world with him.
