Another Beach Day

If I had to come up with a downside to living in paradise I would say it would be having to go to work when the beach is calling your name! After our great time in the sun last Sunday it has been very hard to go to work everyday. We've packed our suits and made plans everyday to maybe go on the way home. Today I made it until noon at work when I got a call from Vic saying she was going to the beach! I wrapped up things at the office and jumped in the jeep (after forwarding the office phones to our cell phones).

I got there first. Today, I remembered my camera!! I took a few pictures while I was waiting on Vic to pick up some fried chicken and get there.

It was another picture perfect day. The water was clear, we remembered our snorkel gear today! There were lots of fish to be seen and we were lucky enough to swim with several dolphins! No pictures of them because we were out in the water.

I found the coolest thing at Target this week and got to try it out.

It is called a spring float and was only about $16 I think. You blow up the inter tube around the float, the middle is a mesh seat that you sit on/in.They had a large oval one for a few dollars more but the round one worked perfectly! If I wasn't so worried about drifting off to sea I could have easily fallen asleep.

The news says we may get rain towards the end of the week because of a storm that is out there, so I am really glad we got the chance to go today. Here are a few more pictures that we took.

OK ,so I don't feel like a total slacker let me give the company I work for a shameless plug.

Blog What You Know

I've been brainstorming lately and checking out ways to make money doing something that I have a passion for. (Writing,blogging, making videos and photography) In many of my searches it was suggested to do paid reviews on my blog. I've signed up for a few but have not heard anything back yet. The more I got to thinking about it the more I'd like to do blogs/reviews on all things local. Local businesses, events, people. I live in Venice, work in Sarasota (Siesta Key) and have been a consumer/business owner/resident for over 25 years. I love the beautiful area that we live in and can not say enough good things about our community!

If you would like me to dedicate a blog to your business or event please drop me an email hollylingley@gmail.com I'd love to hear from you! 

What an amazing day at the beach today! We got there around 11 a.m. The weather was perfect and the water was even better! It was so clear we could see the fish swimming. The snorkeling was so relaxing I could have stayed uner all afternoon! We even had the treat of seeing a family of manatees swim right in front of us. Casey Key Beach in Nokomis Florida is one of my favorite beaches.
