    I’ve lived in Sarasota for 13 years I love it so much. My favorite place to go is Selby Gardens it’s so fun for kids. During the winter they have what they call lights in bloom and if you look it up it’s so cool they make all kinds of fun shapes and animals with the lights and put them all over the garden. Definitely my favorite place when I was a kid

    I live on the other side of Florida and we have the light brown "sandy" sand on our beaches. They're really nice and I live near a beach where you can always find private space to hang out. We do LOVE to come to your coast for the wonderful white sand whenever we get a chance. It's nice that it only takes a few hours to get from one side to the other.

    Hi Lynette. What a nice video. Really enjoyed the sites of Sarasota, brought back many great memories. The beaches, St. Armands Circle, and showing different places to eat, especially Yoder’s Restaurant brought back beautiful memories. We were last there in February of 2020, right before the pandemic. Thank You for showing how beautiful Sarasota is!☺️

Wonder if you might know her? We walked to Sarasota High School together in 71 or 72. Anyway thanks for the pictures. Really enjoyed them.

    We have a family condo in Siesta Key and I have to say this makes me miss it. I cannot wait to go down in August. I'm a big fan of: Orange Octopus Ice Cream, Waterfront Restaurant, Dutch Valley Restaurant, Old Salty Dog, Pelican Alley [Casey Key, Nokomis] and my all time favorite donut truck -- Meanie's Mini Donuts! I love watching you wonder around Sarasota, it's my "home away from home" and I miss it so much!

    I was born and raised in Sarasota and raised Mennonite. I have family that still live there. Which church do you go to? I moved to Port Charlotte (45 minutes South) 4 years ago and come to Sarasota to visit here and there. It's a beautiful place, but I do miss the more laid back Sarasota before everyone knew about our secret paradise :)
    Southside deli on Hillview has really good chicken salad sandwiches, Bankok on swift rd for great Thai food and Burritos on Clark rd for Tacos! I definitely second Toasted Mango! Good video!

Snow is still on the ground here and cold, but not too bad this week and the sunshine has been really nice to see. It makes me look forward to our next season - Spring. Love watching your videos, don’t post much but I do watch when I am able to.

    My mom and dad used to spend the winters in Bradenton Florida so I’m very familiar with all the places you talk about and have been to all of them. Saint Armands Square was one of her favorite places to shop! I would go down every winter for a week to 10 days and spend with them and it was wonderful. Siesta key is wonderfully soft and thick sand, so gorgeous!!! No wonder you love it there, it is absolutely gorgeous on the West Coast!

    My tip: Apply sunscreen on kids BEFORE leaving the house. SO much easier and it allows time for lotions to “set in”. Also...we love beach access #12. Tricky to get in during snowbird season. Although...with kids you want a bathroom. There isn’t one there. 👎🏻

    • @LynetteYoder
