This morning Vicki wanted to take a trip to Siesta Key Beach, so off we went.
I have never seen this beach with so few people.

After we arrived I found out Vicki just wanted some sand, I drove the Vette to haul sand :eek:

On the way back through downtown Sarasota we stop and looked at the art show (All Statues) around the Marina

I've never seen a portable dock before, I guess you can tow it with you.

Drove home up Longboat Key to Anna Maria Island. Stooped by to see the reconditioned Bridge Street Pier. They put a new restaurant in and boat parking. All they did to the pier itself was a coat of paint on the railings. I guess you can't expect much anymore for a couple of million.
The restaurant is operated by the people who have Rotten Ralph's on the north end this one uses the same name. Hope it's better then the original.

Thanks​
 
Anna Maria Island is a pretty nice place. Wouldn't mind trying to squeeze in a few vacation days there some year.
 
Rick, thanks for sharing the pics...some of those statues are interesting. The ones with the cars is different...:shrug01:
 
This was a statue from two years ago. My daughter took these at sunset. Everyone wanted it to stay as a permanent fixture, but it's gone...

I love Siesta Key as well. Thanks for the pic of the police boat:thumbsup:

Also noticed our boys from Uncle Sams Canoe Group (or Confused Group-depending on your outlook?):rofl1: were on station off shore that 1st pic:thumbsup:
