Anna Maria Island is a great place to visit in the fall. The streets are quiet, the sea is still warm and the prices are at their lowest. With the kids back at school, the island returns to it's sleepy, quiet self - long lazy days and time to talk, relax and enjoy the spectacular scenery.

Went down to Publix this morning and succumbed to the doughnut counter - bought a mixed box, brought them back home, brewed a fresh pot of coffee, took them out on the balcony on the sunshine and feasted. Glazed, maple iced and other delights. Mmmmm! the best doughnuts in the Universe.

Just one of the many delights of being on Anna Maria Island.
