Endless Summer at Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel Island

I clasped the blankets closer to my chest as I woke up, shivering. "What the hell is going on?" I wrap myself in a blanket burrito as I slug over to my computer. W-E-A-T-H-E-R.COM - 53 degrees (yes, I'm a weenie). I look outside in horror. Where did my summer go? How is it already… Continue reading Endless Summer at Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel Island
