Another vacation in Marco Island/Naples






So after a fun and frantic Wyoming vacation we had a semi relaxing Marco Island vacation. The condo we stayed at was in the middle of the Everglades.











We took a hike at the Thousand Islands. The view was great but the mosquitoes ate us alive... I don't think I've seen Jesse run that fast in a long time.
























After that we spent the day at the beach on Marco  and drank wine at sunset.


















Day 3 was a drive into Naples.





We walked around downtown and did some shopping, grabbed some lunch and yes once again drank beer at the beach.








The Pelicans were out in full force doing some fishing.














Day 4 we watched a few movies took a walk on the Big Cypress Bend Boardwalk.





We didn't see any gators on this one but we did spot a Bald Eagle in her nest.











We lounged at the pool for the rest of the day.














Day 5 it was back to the beach in Marco.











We found some free parking at a resort that had a great pool, jacuzzi and a bar right on the beach.













We drank beer and swam for most of the day and took in the sunset again with the swarms of birds.




















































Day 6 our final full day I had filled with some adventure.

We spent the afternoon eating lunch and walking the 2.25 mile boardwalk at the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary.









I definitely want to do this again... It was incredibly beautiful. A nice long soak was in order at the gym before heading out for the evening.













We jumped on the Naples Bay water shuttle. They had the cheapest drinks on board while people got on and off stops.





















We ended up getting out at The Dock restaurant and having dinner.












The next day we headed home and back to work...
