Sanibel and Captiva Islands



One thing that is different about our camping trip this year is that we aren't camped right on the ocean — so we really hadn't spent any time at a beach yet. So today, we drove to Sanibel and Captiva Islands for some beach time.

We left our campsite at 9 am and got to Bowman Beach at about 10:15 am. (there is lots of traffic on the bridge and the main drag into Sanibel!) Our plan was to spend a couple of hours there and then have a late lunch — that way missing the hottest part of the day. The weather and beach were beautiful — we even got to see some dolphins swimming out a ways from where we were set up with our beach chairs!

After our time at the beach, we went to the Bubble Room on Captiva Island — it has been around for about 35 years and specializes in HUGE DESSERTS. We had dessert after having lunch . . . . . or what I'm calling "l'inner" — so full that we won't be eating dinner tonight!
