Lido Beach - Part IV

Such a beautiful day, yet so much sad news in the media...

We started off our day with our usual morning routine: breakfast, fun, getting dressed, heading to the beach and pool.  It was extremely hot today, but the water was nice and warm, and the ocean was calm.  Isabella did not want to be at the beach or out in the sun, so we played under the shade for a while and then she headed to the pool and then in for a nap.  Lia, my sister-in-law, and I did our morning walk on the beach and then headed to the pool ourselves.  

While having lunch, we heard the sad news that Farrah Fawcett passed away this morning.  Soon after that, we watched the soccer match between Brasil and South Africa and were relieved that the score turned out to be 1-0 (not a very entertaining match I must say).  Before heading back out to the beach for a while, we heard the second sad news of the day, that Michael Jackson passed away as well.  May they rest in peace.

Upon our return from the beach, we all got dressed up and ready for a nice dinner at the hotel's Lido Beach Grille.  The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, the food delicious and the views of the beach and city of Sarasota were gorgeous.  It had been a while since I had seen such a breath taking sunset! 

We decided that since this is our last night here, on this trip, that we would take a stroll on the beach at night.  

"Sad to say, I'm on my way...won't be back, for many a day..."
