While on a family vacation in Redington Shores, Florida, we decided to go sight-seeing in Sarasota before taking family pictures on Anna Maria Island. We spent a total of 25 minutes on drawbridge waiting for a sailboat to pass. During this time, all 5 family members got out of the car and took pictures of the crystal-like water and shore buildings. This day of sight-seeing turned into my favorite part of vacation. There are so many places to stop and see. This drawbridge was my favorite place the whole day. It was calm, quite, and had the perfect angle to see the water. I felt like staying there all day just to watch the many sailboats come through. I will return to Redington and Sarasota every year and tell everyone I know to go have a perfect family vacation there.
