After yapping for a few and quickly getting into the "my life as a stewardess" banter, came to find my male steward also shopping in the store!

I am back in my suite five minutes later and just want the world to know they are blessed to bump into ladies like her. Shout out to the lovely Jennaly (sp?) who is also friendly and adorable.

So, in siesta key village it's the only good store providing visitors and residents on Siesta Key with what they want to enjoy the beautiful 8-mile beach and warm Gulf coast waters. Normally I collect magnets, shots glasses, and some frames and if anything local-then I go for that, like a tiki statue in this case. From beach mats, flops and sandals, chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, and sunscreen to sunglasses and trendy surf shorts, this well-stocked shop has a great range of clothing and equipment to choose from. and coming to souvenirs - it has all the range. When Shop says they have "Everything for the beach" they mean EVERYTHING! it has 3 sections, and you can find almost anything needed for the beach.

Each "shop" has an array of selections available. Mostly typical beach sop options, swim wear, clothing, hats, jewelry, souvenirs, to name a few. There are check out counters in each shop with the friendly staff to help with quick cash out. Prices are a little steep for clothing and swim. Toys are priced very reasonable! We snagged a few hats, sun shirt for Dad and toys for the kiddos. They have a little something for everyone. Name brands for those that care about that kind of thing.

The staff were absolutely great about searching for something new and different to try. It was the best swimsuit shopping experience EVER. I emerged with a new tankini that really flatters, in a style that I never would have tried on my own. My daughter bought a very nice tankini as well, on sale. The prices are boutique level, but they do have some sales (my suit was about $100, my daughter's about half that). A very happy holiday experience and I had a great new suit in which to feel more confident. Highly recommended.

But for now I'm in Sarasota and it's party central and dreams of the continuation of sugar plums and a bright tomorrow still dance in every head. This above statement, although a bit rigid, seems to be the predominant head space for our lovable assembly at the church of Never-never Land where you never have to think adult thoughts and I remember those days well. I just needed cheap sunglasses having misplaced my expensive ones and I need to cut the glare for my eyes and protect myself a little from these lovebugs having sex on my face. I know it's their season and all, but get a crack in a door of a room or somewhere a bit less intrusive. And two conversations behind my head are on the Sillyland Express going fast track to nowhere about young love, which is sweet in theory but being bastardized in verbage. I couldn't resist to ask "Who is John Gault"? - Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged - ziiippppidie doodaaa - to me for invoking a colossal and misguided literature missle to the solar eclipse archetypes. They miss daily sunrises and sunsets but are consumed by a moon that's only an alien observation post, and it's getting more and more common for me to wish for an abduction and To Serve Man is the book I find upon their spaceship, it's a cookbook. But capitalism isn't broken yet here and doesn't show signs of failure quite yet because my sunglasses are ten bucks with about seventy cents of tax. They're sturdy at the hinges and appear to be Costa del Mar-esq in style and lense coloration. I still love beach shops although this one isn't exactly near and beaches. The shell necklaces, shot glasses, red Lifeguard sweatshirts and tye dye as far as the eye can see. A fine shopping experience in the end of times here in Sarasota.
