Sea-Suns Greetings from Sanibel Island
Sea-Suns Greetings
Last year at this time, I escaped to my very favorite Sanibel Island, Florida. There’s no place like the “tropics” to celebrate Christmas. It’s so much fun!
Where else can you see flamingos pulling a sleigh?
I love, love, LOVE to visit Sanibel Island during the holidays.
Did I mention that I love it?
Eighty-some degrees, driving around with the windows down, listening to Christmas music …
And, look! There’s Santa climbing a palm tree!

This was my second visit to Sanibel Island. I did so much this time!
Here’s Doc Ford’s Sanibel Rum Bar and Grille. Owned by my favorite author Randy Wayne White:
Doc Ford's Sanibel Rum Bar and Grille
Randy Wayne White used to be a fishing guide. As a fishing guide, he delivered fish to this restaurant, which he later bought! It’s named after the fictional hero of his novels, Doc Ford. His novels take place in Sanibel Island and they are a great read.
And here’s the Mucky Duck, a popular restaurant on Captiva Island:

I’ve heard tales that if you ask for a table with a window, they will actually bring you a window.
And here’s sunset at the Mucky Duck (Endless Sunner style!):
Beautiful, isn’t it?
And of course, the original Chico’s (my favorite store):
The Original Chico's
This is the ORIGINAL Chico’s. I visited Chico’s on Luminary Night. So much fun. All the shops are decorated, and there’s music, and food, and drink.
And I visited the shell museum. This is a junonia:

You get your picture in the paper if you find one of these.
Which, of course, brings me to the main event on Sanibel Island: SHELLING!
Blind Pass, Sanibel Island, Florida Shells as far as the eye can see ...
Check out some of my best shelling pictures here!
And you can see even more Sanibel Island holiday pictures here.
Wish you were here!
Warmly, Maria
