I get to travel less and less nowadays, but occasionally someone asks me to do a certain type of event that we can’t send anyone else to do. This was one of those times, and it ended up that I would be in Sarasota, Florida.
So Sunday I flew to Tampa and had a lovely drive down the West Florida keys to Sarasota. I took my time and stopped whenever something looked worthwhile and I was ready to walk around. There were huge lightning storms on Sunday afternoon, and so I watched lightning streaks in the sky from either side of the bridges as I drove across!
I was hoping to see a Manatee or two. 😉
I stopped when I was hungry and saw a restaurant that looked fun… this is from The Freckled Fin in Brandenton. I tried the key lime martini, just for fun!
I walked on the beach for awhile before continuing the last twenty minute drive to my hotel. Usually I am so rushed to get in and out from training events, so it was nice to have a few hours to slow down a bit.
The highlight of the evening, however, was Skyping with my family from the hotel. 🙂 JT always makes silly faces at me while Haley is telling her looooooong stories.
I woke up on Monday, trained for four hours, attended a sidewalk meeting, and flew home. I was back by 9:30 PM!
