Nokomis Beach

The cure for anything is saltwater - sweat, tears, or the sea.

Now that we have only a month to go before heading north again, I told Mr. Cottage that we need to have a date day each week until we leave.  For whatever reason this year, both Mr. Cottage and I have been busy doing a lot within our RV park and not going out as much as I would like to do.  We don't have my nice Jeep Liberty for ME to drive down here, OH NO!!  We have Mr. Cottage's HUGE truck!!  Once we leave the RV park, Mr. Cottage is usually the one to do the driving with all the horrendous traffic here.  I wanted to go to Calico Corners to find some nice raspberry color fabric for me to take home and make a throw pillow for our family room chair.   I found a very pretty raspberry fabric which looks like a brushed denim, but I had to end up ordering it and it will ship to our RV.  Fortunately, everything in their store was 20% off.  Not far from Calico Corners was Nokomis Beach.  We have never been there before because we always seem to go either to Siesta Key or Lido Beach. 

I just have to show you some of the wonderful photos I took while on the beach.

Pelicans resting on the water...

What colorful beach umbrellas...

I love how I captured this wave coming in to shore...

And finally, ta ta...I was able to get my feet wet...
