Sarasota, Wrap-up

Posted in Travel, tagged , , on March 23, 2008 | 1 Comment »

Saturday morning it was time to go. First stop was the UPS Store in Bradenton. We had accumulated more stuff than we had luggage for (even though we had shipped our purchases from Artisans directly from the store!), so another shipment was in order. There was a short discussion about what to [...]

Sarasota, Friday, Baseball and Yarn!

It was a beautiful day today, a beautiful day for baseball and for shopping! Technically, we were in Bradenton today, not in Sarasota. Bradenton is the next suburb over (north) from Sarasota. That’s where Ken’s baseball game was today and, as things turned out, where I spent the day as well!

We’re here!  Actually we’ve been here since Saturday late afternoon, but today was the first day that I’ve had a few quiet moments to blog about our trip.
Sunday, Ken spent the majority of the day at Ed Smith Stadium watching the Reds play.  He was ecstatic when he came back.  It was the most fun [...]
