    I’ve lived in Sarasota for 13 years I love it so much. My favorite place to go is Selby Gardens it’s so fun for kids. During the winter they have what they call lights in bloom and if you look it up it’s so cool they make all kinds of fun shapes and animals with the lights and put them all over the garden. Definitely my favorite place when I was a kid

    My mom and dad used to spend the winters in Bradenton Florida so I’m very familiar with all the places you talk about and have been to all of them. Saint Armands Square was one of her favorite places to shop! I would go down every winter for a week to 10 days and spend with them and it was wonderful. Siesta key is wonderfully soft and thick sand, so gorgeous!!! No wonder you love it there, it is absolutely gorgeous on the West Coast!

    I live on the other side of Florida and we have the light brown "sandy" sand on our beaches. They're really nice and I live near a beach where you can always find private space to hang out. We do LOVE to come to your coast for the wonderful white sand whenever we get a chance. It's nice that it only takes a few hours to get from one side to the other.

    We have a family condo in Siesta Key and I have to say this makes me miss it. I cannot wait to go down in August. I'm a big fan of: Orange Octopus Ice Cream, Waterfront Restaurant, Dutch Valley Restaurant, Old Salty Dog, Pelican Alley [Casey Key, Nokomis] and my all time favorite donut truck -- Meanie's Mini Donuts! I love watching you wonder around Sarasota, it's my "home away from home" and I miss it so much!

Thank You for showing how beautiful Sarasota is!☺️

    That was so much fun to see the ocean .And the shops. Florida has not closed down. They say that people are moving there in droves. So get ready with your business. Our kids are in an RV and have been traveling . Well California was basically closed. The covid stopped them from going where they had planned.they got to Texas right when the freezing started. They got to the park and then stood in line for propane. They were lucky to have that and were warm. No water. But it came back. So they are going to try and come to your area. hoping the college kids won't take over. I would love to live there. the sound of the water is wonderful. Thanks again. Joyce

It's a beautiful place, but I do miss the more laid back Sarasota before everyone knew about our secret paradise :)

Great video! Trust me taking 3 kids to the beach is very hard. I have plenty of help for my 4 year old, but I still stress out. 😫
