SARASOTA VLOG | things to do & places to eat in this coastal Florida city! 

As someone from Sarasota, I'm glad it's getting the recognition it deserves. It is such as wonderful place, with wonderful people.

Your travel vlogs are my favorite to watch 🤍 It literally feels like I'm there. Your video/editing skills never cease to amaze me 🌸 It's like I'm watching a multi million dollar production travelling show! Hands down, YOU ARE THE BEST AT WHAT YOU DO 👏🥰

Palmer definitely had the grandest day of his life! He just loves the water! OMG! how fun to watch Palmer run around freely and happily!

Palmer had the time of his life. So fun to watch. 😊

OKAY. Buttttttt the way B looks at you talking to us is just so sweet. You can see the admire and love he has for you through this eyes looking at you like that. I love LOVEEEE

My Grandfather lived right up the road from The Ringling Art Museum 🥰 always a treasure to see it’s glory ❤️

I just also want to note something I don’t think people do - Allison you’re incredibly intelligent. You so easily discuss history without us even knowing it. You have to do so much research to know these things. You also ALWAYS do your own stuff. As in, if you get a new desk YOU put it together with your tools without missing a beat. I always have my husband do that junk 😂You and Brandon both are super smart. I love it!!! 😍

The way B looks at you while you're doing your outro 🥺

As someone that grew up there, it is nice to see this video. It makes being home sick after 11 years of not living there seem not so bad! One place you missed in your video is pinecraft where Yoders restaurant is which has the best pie! During thanksgiving yoders sell over 7k pies for thanksgiving! Thanks for the video!

So glad my daughter, Lydia, told me about your social media channels after you shared about her Illustrated Life recipe binder. You’re a bright spot in my weeks. Julie 🌷

Palmer got a big laugh out of me. HE WAS ENJOYING IT ALL! especially when he was wallowing on the sand. 😂💗💗💗

It’s so fun watching someone explore the town you grew up in 🤍

Oh my goodness, Allison! I am from Sarasota and you just made my dream video about it! It's such a gem. Thank you for being such an incredible filmmaker.

My family recently moved to Sarasota and I have been off at college so I haven't been able to explore much. So this vlog is so helpful to see what fun things I need to try out this summer!

Wondering beach look beautiful views on the sea 🌊🐚🥥 Thank you for sharing this video I like it! 🌞🌴🌸

Allison I really enjoy you vlogs♡ and oh my gosh the way that Brandon looks at you, at the end of video, when he called you selfless just literally brought tears to my eyes! 😍 I love how you guys keep God first in your lifes/ marriage! You are truly an inspiration hun♡ keep up the good work and God Bless You Guys💛

Allison, I am so happy for you and Brandon to explored a short trip getaway to Sarasota. It's absolutely wonderful 😊 ❤️ 😍 palmer was having fun at the park. My favorite part was seeing Brandon sleeping in the car. You could see he was tired. Thank you so much for this amazing video!

As someone who is from Sarasota I would have loved if you actually showed all of Sarasota. The nice parts are beautiful but there’s so much more beauty in the actual culture we have.

Omg we love Brohard dog beach...sadly we just had to put our baby girl Luna to rest..its been so hard..but this whole video made me happy..we love Sarasota .. thanks for brighten my day!!!!

Allison, your videos always make me feel better about any situation I’m going through in life. Thank you very very much. ♥️♥️🙏🏼 God bless

I prefer Hallandale beach Florida beautiful city good beaches and restaurants and growing businesses and communities, and good night life.❤

The dog beach, so wholesome 🥺

Wow! You hit all the spots! I’m a part time Uber driver in Sarasota. I drive by all those spots many times each day and it never gets old. I couldn’t imagine a more beautiful place to drive.

You have no idea how helpful these videos are. You give me so much hope and positivity, it's like a serotonin boost to watch your channel. Also, I did not know about Sarasota so thx for sharing.

Thank you for always spreading joy and positivity, Allison! I always look forward to watching your videos! 🌸

Sun Garden is one of my fav breakfast spots to go to.. Def have to stop by each time I go to FL

Palmer is so ADORBLE! I loveeee him! And your videos! Especially your travel ones! That are so fun and creative! ✨

How cute how Palmer enjoy his trip,he had a blast ,love your vlogs

Loved the dog beach. Palmer was livin' his best life! ☺

I am Indian, seeing you eating & enjoying Indian cuisine is a pure happiness 🤍 Also, it was just so refreshing to see the vlog,especially cute Palmer playing & enjoying the beach waves .

Thank you so much for sharing such beautiful memories and places with us🌸You truly are a gem in this world 💕

I'm a Sarasotian myself, and so glad you found Rise & Nye's :) They employ a lot of my buddies from the Haven, which is a really special local non-profit here in town. You've got to try the beignets next time!!

I live in Venice Florida and it was really fun to see you in the city I love. It was especially fun to see Palmer just have a great time at the beach! Sarasota is a nice place to visit too and Owens Fish Camp is one of our favorite places to eat. I even waited the two hours because it is worth it.

I LOVE Sarasota! Such a beautiful place to visit!

Hi Allison, your travel blogs are so full with happiness, love and beautiful memories! It truly is an honor to follow your adventures with Brandon 🧡🌸Wishing you a beautiful day and sending you lots of love 💕

What a beautiful video Allison. Such a breath of fresh air. I feel like I am there personally traveling with you. You are so amazing and I think you are one of the best youtubers out there. I feel so light and airy after watching this. Its like a movie. And I love that Palmer is there. I love seeing him in your vlogs.

Currently on deployment and watching your videos make me feel comfort watching and missing home. Thank you for sharing!

I grew up in Sarasota. it's great to visit and you make it look amazing. it's a nightmare to live there. it conjested the traffic is a nightmare. it's so expensive no one can afford to live there except the extremely rich. I'm glad I grew up there when I did. it use to be so cute and quaint

I was just in Sarasota too! Such a fun city. I loooved Breaking Waves Coffee! Thanks for sharing your travels with us, love your videos!

I've never seen a dog enjoy the beach so much.He was having the time of his life!

I'm exhausted just watching all that you did!!!!!! My favorite was seeing Palmer having such a blast. As always so much fun to take a trip with you both and nice to meet your dad. So many great places to see....Thanks.

So beautiful!!! It looks like a very refreshing trip! And it really was so nice to see Palmer running all over and playing with other dogs! So cute :D

Oh you must go to Maria Selby Gardens next time‼️ It's a phenomenal garden and SO relaxing 🥰

Watching Palmer play on the beach with Luna made me choke up. The Lord truly blessed Palmer in guiding him to find you and Brandon. ❤️

Yall are a cute couple. Thank you for sharing your travels!❤ Sarasota reminded me some of Melbourne, FL. I went their annually to visit my Grandparents before they passed. It's been since 2005 since I've been that way. My Grandaddy had an orange Grove in Vero Beach too, so I enjoyed visiting that area as well. I was so glad I got to take my husband a couple of times too. It's always so good to see places down in south FL, that brings back good memories for me. We live in the panhandle of FL, and it's more country side, and Springs, it's beautiful too. Panama City is an hour south. It's a great area. And Alabama is also an hour north. God's Blessings on your travels!🥰

Wow!!! I always wondered what Sarasota looked like. I love the architecture of the buildings downtown! It is ADORABLE watching Palmer having so much fun as well...what a beautiful trip! 👍👍🌈

Born and raised in this hidden paradise called Sarasota,Fl.🏖🚤🏊🏼‍♀️☀️🌞

Thank you so much for taking me along on your trip. It was great that you and Brandon shared the momens with your dad. The site and places where gorgeous. It felt like I was there. Thank you so much. Be Blessed.

I am lucky to live 90 minutes from Sarasota. I love taking weekend trips to Sarasota.

Come to South Siesta and join us at my workplace Clayton's Siesta Grille! Bring the family - it's like casual fine dining and block from the beach! and you don't have to drive through the village! Loved the video! Glad you made on about the place!

I highly recommend Fort Myers/Naples, FL area for your next travel vlog! The old city vibes, architecture and beaches are incredible and so so pretty! Sunsets are above 5 stars in my book and you can bike around and visit some of the best restaurants in the downtown area of Naples near where the Tamiami Trail takes you to Miami. I used to live in this area for college at FGCU and miss it dearly! Highly highly recommend ❤️🌷☀️

We took a family trip with our boys to Sarasota in February. We loved hunting for shark teeth at Caspersen beach and feeding flamingos at Sarasota Jungle Gardens! (In addition to the lovely recommendations you have here). My favorite food was the lobster roll at Speaks Clam Bar in St. Armands Circle 🔥

Loved the vlog and watching Palmer have such a grest time as well..I laughed so hard as he ran and rubbed his whole body in the sand. Would love to come for a visit..maybe later this summer. Thanks again for your wonderful travel vlogs💛

I haven’t visit Florida in almost 20 years. Hope I get the chance to do so this summer and visit some of this awesome places 💕thanks for the tour. Have an amazing week, beautiful ☀️

love this vlog, you really captured how beautiful Sarasota is ❤

The Ringling looks incredible!!

Hi Allison, This vlog is just what I needed; my grandparents lived there for decades and I’ve wanted to visit. Thanks for sharing! All the best to you, Julie 🌷

Love your travel vlogs!!!! Palmer at the beach was the highlight....so goofy and having the time of his life!

The next place you should visit is Fort Myers/Naples FL! I used to live down there and it is STUNNING! Gulf Coast Town Center has tons of shopping and Naples has incredible old city vibes with amazing detailed architecture and restaurants galore in the downtown area. The Naples Pier is a place I give 5 stars to see the sunset ❤️❤️❤️

I live in Sarasota and although I do I love it here at times, it is not reality. This is town is like living in bubble a facade of reality. It’s a very sunny place with very shady people. Enjoy it though people!

I love your travel vlogs! I feel like I am there with you two! I enjoyed seeing Palmer having so much fun!

so happy I stumbled upon this. I just moved to Venice Florida outside Sarasota excited to get ideas thank you.

My grandparents have a timeshare in Longboat and we go to St Armands every night. So many nostalgic memories!!

Love seeing this vlog while Chicago is super gloomy and cold today. Everything looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

Love your travel vlogs! You do an amazing job showing highlights and whetting our appetites to travel. I could have watched Palmer in the dog park for hours, lol. Thanks for taking us along. 🌸
