Saturday

On Saturday I drove from one coast to another.....

from the Atlantic coast to the Gulf coast of Florida that is!

I spent the afternoon at one of my favorite spots

Tarpon Springs

In decades past, Greek immigrants settled in Tarpon Springs where they harvested the sponges growing in the Gulf.

Now, Tarpon Springs is mainly a tourist destination,

chock full of delicious restaurants, charming shops, kitschy Florida souveniers, and sightseeing boat tours.

After a great afternoon at Tarpon Springs

we drove to Anna Maria Island for the beachside wedding of a family friend.

The wedding was to take place at sunset.

We got to the beach at 6 o'clock.

The Noodle ran around for over an hour.

He had a blast and was covered in sand

even in his underwear!

What time, exactly, is sunset?

And finally

the happy couple

And the sunset!

Hope you had a lovely weekend.

And if you get the chance

visit Tarpon Springs

and eat lunch at

Hellas.
