The weather has finally turned around and it's HOT! So we took off for a ride to Marco Island. We tried to visit Sanibal Island last month and it was bumper to bumper traffic so we came back. I was hoping this would be nicer and it was. This island was not as developed, there were even empty lots available. We wanted to try a restaurant on the water (I'm always a sucker for waterfront dining) for lunch. It was only 11:30 when we arrived but there was already a wait.

As usual I had a grouper sandwich with french fries and salad bar. We've decided haddock is better but grouper is quite good too and I can't seem to get enough fish.

On the way down we came across several of these signs. "Panther Traffic". We didn't see any but have heard on the news that 3 have been hit by cars in the past month. Interesting wildlife here.
