What a show last night at the Sarasota bay front!! I can't remember a better 4th of July fireworks show in downtown Sarasota since we moved here. We went by boat and watched from the bay looking back at the downtown area. As the fireworks lit up the sky it highlighted the bay front condos like Sarabande, Marina Tower, Tessara, and right up main street to the Plaza at Five Points and 100 Central. I bet the view from all those condos was equally stunning looking back at the 100s of boats in the bay. The weather was perfect with a slight breeze and pleasant temperatures. And I must commend the Sarasota police department for crowd control - they did a great job with the huge turn out!! Maureen and I came back through town about 11pm and they had things moving smoothly by then. Great job Sarasota PD!
Today we're off to the farmers market downtown and then the Suncoast Offshore party at the Park to see the big race boats up close. Sunday is the big race.
Lots to do in sunny Sarasota all year long!
