Apparently vacation was so great and relaxing that I didn’t finish writing about it. Here are the highlights: •Marco is one of my favorite places in the world. It’s funny that they have only two seasons. On and off. I prefer off season. •The trip to Tigertail Beach is worth it. I refuse to take…
It’s one of our favorite things to do in Marco Island, “Owl Spotting.” Marco Island is home to the Athene cunicularia floridana, or Florida burrowing owl. The owls dig burrows and is the only owl species that nests underground. You can spot them all over vacant lots around the island. They stand on little man-made…
Marco Island is a beautiful place with so much to see and do. But we always have a problem leaving the house. We are just so comfortable, and there’s so much to do here, actually getting dressed seems like such a chore. We’ve been doing a lot of fishing, dodging rain storms and lounging near…
Our annual Marco Island vacation is under way! We are in a new house this year and it’s pretty amazing. It was a pretty successful day of swimming, fishing, day-drinking, naps and constant snacking. We’ve decided since we can now fish from the backyard, we will have a fishing competition. I’m proud to report that…
Ah…vacation. You never last as long as I would like. It’s our annual vacation spot. One week in a rental house on the beach. It’s perfect. I just wish it would last longer. Days are filled with bike rides, fishing, eating, drinking and pooling. That’s about it. There’s a great spot the boys love to…
Marco Island is one of our favorite vacation spots. I used to come here as a kid, as my aunt and her (much older children) also lived on the island. As an adult, it just randomly happened that my in-laws friends have a house to rent on the island, and it turned into our family…
I love the beach. The sand between my toes, the sound of the waves crashing to shore, the smell of salt in the air. It’s my go to happy place. I don’t consider a vacation a real vacation unless there is a beach involved. But it also has to have a pool as I will…
I love pretending I live in a big mansion somewhere close to nowhere. Check out the photo gallery and some of my favorite houses. At this point, I need to win the lottery to even pretend to live there. Even the shack it out of my price range!!! Here’s more about Rookery Bay and Keewaydin…
One of our favorite vacation spots in the world, Marco Island. Each year we rent a boat and explore the 10,000 Islands. One day, I really would like to live on one of the islands. But until that point, I’ll just pretend. We anchor the boat at Rookery Bay and fish, swim and go shelling.…

A bonus of spending the Fourth of July on Marco Island. A surprise boat parade down the waterfront.
