We absolutely love where we live and work! There is always so much to do and see.  One of our favorite places to hang out, Siesta Key, was named 2011’s Best Beach by Dr. Beach.  Siesta is one of the barrier islands of Sarasota located south of Tampa Bay, Florida.  The beach has baby-powder white sand that is cool for bare feet even during hot summer days.  The world-renown crystal white sands are uniquely 99 percent pure quartz.  Azure waves of the Gulf of Mexico gently roll onto the surf.  Sun bathers can take siestas between activities of beachcombing, volleyball and sand castle making.  Quaint villages with outside dining and cool drinks are located nearby where bikinis and sandals are the standard dress code.

Siesta Beach is a great vacation getaway whether it is for a single lazy afternoon, a sunset drum and dance circle traditionally held on Sunday evenings, or for the truly fortunate who enjoy an extended stay.
