Our Backyard.

Rick and I love to travel and we have found it a little difficult with Caroline being so young. So until she gets a little older we have been trying to enjoy our backyard
We are currently on Spring Break but have really enjoyed the last few weeks. Rick and I have made a real effort to enjoy the local area around us. Both of us grew up in the area but we have discovered lately that our little local area has a lot of fun.
We loved to go and stay on Fifth Avenue in Naples or just go and have lunch. Fifth Avenue has a lot of unique shops. It is within walking distance of the beach. We often go and have lunch and then we walk to the beach.
We are also on a big exercise commitment so we try to at least to incorporate long walks into what we do. So two weeks ago we joined the Naples Botanical Garden. Every week we try to go and enjoy the natural beauty while we walk a few miles. Caroline loves it.

Although we look forward to the day when we can pull our passport back out and travel to someone else’s backyard for now we are enjoying ours.
So here are a few of the spots we have been to lately:

Naples Beach Hotel

This is an older hotel in Naples. You can have dinner right on the beach. The sunset is great





This where we love to enjoy the gardens and walk

The Inn on Fifth is in a great location to enjoy downtown Naples


We enjoy the beach but really do not go as much as we should.




Fifth Ave is in downtown Naples and is a tourist area. It has lots of great shops and restaurants.





The Asian Garden is one of our favorite stops along our walk.
