Scenes Around Anna Maria Island, FL - (Historic Bridge St., Bean Point, Stores, Beautiful Sunsets) 

I noticed it seemed to charge more than other ones on the mainland. I'm glad it wasn't just me.

We agree! We usually go to Siesta Key during the summer, but we have visited Anna Maria Island in the Winter a couple of times. We've driven by the Publix you are talking about, but just have never stopped. It's on Longboat Key

We actually drove down to Siesta Key and Sarasota one night, and I thought St. Armands Circle was lit up beautifully for Christmas.

On my bucket list.....

Ours too…Ready to do a vacation there for sure. Did y’all find any shirts?

@@Momtocam1997 I was actually planning to go back to the first store and get a shirt, because they were the most reasonable. I never made it back up there. Have to do it next trip. Plus, I've already got T-shirts from just about everywhere, anyway. I don't really need another one.

Thank you, and yes she is.

Thanks so much!

@@NCMemoryMakers your so very welcome

Thank you so much for watching, and for your comment. We have enjoyed both of our experiences there.

AMI is a beautiful place. You would love it.

That's a good idea and I'm sure that many prefer to do it that way. We may be a little weird, but for us, part of the excitement is going to the grocery store once we first check in, and stocking up for the week. Plus, only Publix carries that brand of orange juice, and it is absolutely the best. We love going to Publix when we are in Florida.

The water temperature that time of year, is normally upper 60s. But because they had just had that cold snap where it was so cold (right after we met up with ya'll), the water temperature there was 63. It went straight to the bone the minute we stepped in it. But it did look warm. By the time we left Florida, the temperatures were in the low 80s. Let us know when you decide on where you're going in Florida this year. I think you were looking at the Destin area? Great fishing there.

@@NCMemoryMakers You are kidding me! We are going to go to Destin!!!!! We are going in July. Just booked our place the other day.

@@vafunseekers Yes, David had mentioned the other week, that you were looking up Destin online. I haven't been there since I was 18. I just remember it was great fishing. The water and the sand are nice.

@@vafunseekers I'll be really looking forward to seeing your videos when you go. I'm anxious to see how it's grown since I was there many years ago.

@@NCMemoryMakers It's been about 10 years since we have been there so we are looking forward to seeing how it has changed since then. When are y'all thinking about going?

Thank you so much. I appreciate that. It seems like every once in a while, we get a very rude person to show up and make a comment like that. Thank you for letting us know you enjoy the channel.

I've heard of it (Detwiler's) but not sure exactly where it is. We have been to the Trader Joe's in Sarasota a couple of times, however. I really like it. In fact, on our last review of Walt's Fish Market back in July of 2022, we did our close out from the Trader Joe's parking lot. Hope you have a great visit to Sarasota. Thank you so much for watching, and for commenting.

@@NCMemoryMakers Yes I remember commenting on the Walt's fish market video of last year, best wishes to you both..

@@Mrpegs1 And to you, as well.

Yes, that would be correct. The putt putt was in Orlando, after we left Anna Maria Island.

We think you will love it.

Yes, I remember those. I had one as a teenager.

Publix is the only place I know of, where it is tough to get a key lime pie without nuts. Most stores don't put them on at all. The Publix stores in Florida are usually good about offering it both ways, but the ones up here think you are strange if you request one without nuts. And yes, their chicken is quite good. And we are committed to keeping our channel clean. We don't even allow comments to remain, if someone uses an off-color word in it. That's not what we are about. We fully agree with you, about wishing it weren't out there at all.

No, not in the Keys. Anna Maria Island is near Bradenton, just south of Tampa.

This video was made in December, right after Christmas.

@NCMemoryMakers ok. Thank you. Watching your video now 😀

Excuse me??

First, it's "too". Second, don't tell us what to do on our own channel. Troll somebody else.
