1/31/16 - Not really sure how to do this but I need to edit my blog when I dated the date of 1/16 because I did not make a note and forgot what Aunt Esther and  I did that day.  Anyway, we left around 10:00am and headed for Sarasota.  We decided to do the route along the coast instead of the freeway but you never really could see the coast line.  Because of that decision we got to Sarasota a little later than we had planned since Cousin Esther Miller told us she would be off of work around lunchtime so we decided to go visit Aunt Inez and then take her to a sandwich shoppe and meet up with Esther.  Esther informed us that she was available earlier and she would pick up Aunt Inez and meet us at the sandwich shoppe.  We had a very nice visit.  We then went back to Esther's house since I was meeting up with Cousin Roman Beachy, his wife and Cousin Mary Grace.  We visited for a while and then Aunt Esther and I went to see Aunt Martha and Wilbur.  We then went back to Esther's house, had some snacks and played marbles for a while.  Not sure when we left Sarasota and got back to Fort Meyers.  We then went over our schedules regarding Pat arrival and learned that we had been mistaken about her coming in on Sunday morning and instead she was scheduled in on Tuesday instead.

Because of the schedule change, I am not sure when we actually went to check out the beach but my writing from Tuesday (1/19) on appears to be more accurate!!
