Today I discovered a new place - a wonderful and cozy beach in the west coast of Florida called Lido Beach. Even though I live close to both Miami and Fort Lauderdale beaches, which are absolutely beautiful, this beach has its unique quirks that make it a special place. After only a three hour drive - and yes, I must admit, a boring drive since the view did not change much - we arrived at a very nice hotel in this wonderful new little paradise. The white sand that leads to the beach is softer than any other sand I had walked on before. Even though it has little shells and pieces of shells everywhere, it's soft and smooth. The water is a greenish-blue, with beautiful breaking waves and warm as can be.
Once settled in, we decided to go into St. Armand's Circle to grab a bite to eat, and there, we found a delicious restaurant where we had lunch. After a quick nap, we went to the beach and enjoyed the warm water and played on the soft sand (we actually attempted our first sand castle with Isabella) and ended our afternoon with a dive in the pool (also quite warm). To end our first day of vacation, we had a nice quiet dinner at the hotel cafe.
