Elliott Family Fun at Ft. Myers Beach

Family vacations are really important to the Elliott bunch. The older the kids get, the harder it is for all of us to be together and extra difficult to travel somewhere. Our calendars keep getting crazier and crazier. But we made it happen this month, if only for a few days, it was worth it! We spent Labor Day weekend together in Ft. Myers Beach, Florida.

My favorite thing to do while relaxing on the beach is to take my short, little chair out to the edge of the water and just sit there while the waves crash over me just enough to keep me cool. I can spend hours listening to the waves and feeling the sand between my toes! Thank you Lord for beautiful beaches!

Only 9 more months and we will do it all again!

Beach Food is the Best Food!

While in Ft. Myers, we ate at some of our favorite places and tried out a few new ones. Here's what we thought.

Mom and I wandered over to Sanibel Island and tried the Over Easy Cafe for breakfast. It was well worth the trip! The fresh squeezed orange juice was addictive and the french toast was superb! What a wonderful start to the day!

Grouper & Coconut Shrimp at the Fish House on Bonita Beach. Delicious!

On our last day on the beach we visited the Heavenly Biscuit on Ft. Myers Beach for our carb fix. The cinnamon roll was ooey, gooey, yummy. The biscuits and gravy and grits hit the spot!

A new dinner place for us this year was Nervous Nellies on Ft. Myers Beach. It really was fantastic. We all got something different and everyone raved about their food! I had the mahi mahi and it was cooked just perfect.
