Wed, Nov 18, Lake Manatee State
Park, Bradenton, FL: Another
nice day today. After lunch we drove out to Anna Maria Island and then down
through Long Boat Key before coming back to our site. I really like Anna Maria
Island. It has way more character than Long Boat Key. And they have a trolley/bus that runs all over the island—for free I think. Stopped at a little
park on the beach and wished we had a couple of chaise lounges and our books.
From this park you could see the Skyway Bridge off in the distance. Coming back
we got on I75 south of Sarasota and were dismayed to see more construction on
I75. Looks like they’re blowing the lanes out to 5 each. I hate driving through
construction areas—pulling the fifth wheel anyway. Mike grilled up a couple of
steaks for dinner. Served with mashed potatoes and southwest corn. 91 here
today! But with a nice breeze. All the locals are complaining about the heat.
We’re loving it!
