It was a bit of a late night with Bill, but knowing that I would be leaving for Miami with Shawna, I was well rested and ready to make our drive to South Beach. Skipping breakfast for a head start, we decided that Sarasota would be a great place for lunch.
We said goodbye to the Don Cesar, made a couple of stops before crossing the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Nearing Sarasota, we were crazy hungry and ready for a break to stretch our legs. We found a lovely restaurant to have lunch along the intercoastal.
The weather was absolutely gorgeous for lunch along the intercoastal. The menu was absolutely amazing and we each ordered a drink while taking in our surroundings. I could have stayed here instead of driving the three-and-a-half hour drive to Miami-Dade.
The bacon and blue cheese salad was incredible. Seagulls stared back at us from the walkway posts as Shawna and I decided the quickest route. I’m not sure if eating was the best option as both of us were now ready for a nap. If we wanted to miss afternoon traffic, we would need to leave within the hour.
We decided on one last beverage before hitting the road, so I opted for a non-alcoholic fruity drink as I would be the first to drive. Besides, knowing Melissa, she will have already scheduled out our day and I wouldn’t want to ruin her plans. It was always an adventure with Melissa.
