MINI VACATION

Spanish Point, Robbi's Reef & the Jetties

Frankie , Donna and I went to my brothers home for a mini vacation in Nikomic FL.    He was a great host and we had a really nice time.  Sooo relaxing getting away from the regular routine of everyday life. ha. Everynight we set by the pool talking about the good old days. Thanks Bump. I  know he had to have lots of patience listening to us old ladies chatting away everyday. ha!


Historic Spanish Point is a 30-acre museum and environmental complex located in Osprey, Florida.



 Robbi's Reef  ,  just a little hole in the wall resturant that bump loves to eat at.

The Chicago socialite and widow of Potter Palmer came to Sarasota to establish a winter estate. She purchased thousands of acres for cattle ranching, citrus groves, and real estate development. The Webb homestead was part of the land she chose for her 350-acre estate which she named “Osprey Point.” She preserved the pioneer buildings and connected them with lavish formal gardens and lawns.
