White Sands Resort Club in Naples Florida

Naples, Florida - Spring Break 2012

White Sands Resort Club in Naples, Florida
March 30 to April 7, 2012

We stayed at the White Sands Resort Club. It was in the heart of Old Naples, just 2 blocks from the beach and 3 blocks from the shopping district on 5th Ave. It was just perfect for our family. Our condo was nice with a full kitchen and the tile floors were great when we came in from the beach with some sand on our feet. The kids loved the pool and spent as much time there as they could.

Everyone in the pool!

Goofy girls with their facemasks.

Reid enjoyed the pool, but only some of the time. He was more excited to run around and find a way out of the resort.

Oh, and eating sand. He tried to scoop it in his mouth with a shell.

It felt so good to feel the sand and surf on your toes.

Cousins taking a break in the shade.

The best almost sunset shot of the trip. Every day was sunny, but it seemed like every night the clouds came in off the Gulf just before sunset.

Checking out the sunset on the beach and having a bedtime snack.

One morning we took drove down about a half hour in the Everglades to the Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park. We stopped to walk Big Cypress Bend Boardwalk. Its is right off U.S. 41, seven miles west of State Road 29.

The boardwalk go about 1/2 mile in the swamp. If you go, don't forget the bug spray. The mosquitoes were not too bad, but each of us came home with a few bites.

The boardwalk ends at small pool where to alligators were waiting.

Alligator bait?

The gators didn't move too much while we were watching.

Bald Eagle on it's nest near the boardwalk. I was glad I had my longer zoom lens on my camera for this shot.

There is a large variety of plants and trees along the boardwalk.

Red-bellied Woodpecker near the end of our walk.

And then back to the pool!

Why can't I eat dinner in the pool?

We can't forget crafts- we must have crafts everywhere we go.

Jumping in the waves with Grandpa on the windiest day yet!

But it was a great day for the girl's new boogie boards.

Reid finally figuring out how to use a shovel and pail.

Sunset at the Naples Pier.

Pillions in the moon light at the 3rd Street South beach.

Cool girls just hanging out at the pier.

Watching closely for dolphins.

The only open spot on the pier.

Reese looks very closely for dolphins.

It was very windy on the pier too.
