Day 55 (3/3/26) – Layover in Fort Myers

Turner Beach, Captiva Island. The Captiva shoreline was recently replenished due to storm erosion.
Another fabulous Florida sunset, Fort Myers
The elegant osprey! They’re extremely common in this area.
Hall of Shells, Bailey Matthews National Shell Museum, Sanibel Island. It was tough to leave!
Angie and Matt, Captiva Island 2003

The last couple of days were spent exploring Sanibel and Captiva Islands. Captiva was our summer vacation destination for over 20 years. We started visiting in the mid-nineties when Angie, who’ll be 32 this month, was still in diapers! We typically shared a large home with our friends Gary and Gwynne from Portland, Oregon. How I looked forward to these trips! I have so many precious memories beachside, hunting for seashells, swimming, and watching the spectacular sunsets. I’m basically a beach bum with a passion for seashells. Captiva is the perfect place to be.

We’re flying home this Thursday and will continue our Great Loop adventure in May. Until next time – sweet dreams!
