Ft. Myers, FL

Ryan and I went to Ft. Myers this past weekend for a friend's wedding and had THE most amazing time!  We had the cutest hotel right on the beach, equipped with a full kitchem and a walkout patio overlooking ocean for miles and miles!  The wedding was beach-side and absolutely beautiful, it was even Michigan themed with the groomsmen wearing maize and blue shorts and the bridesmaids in navy dresses with Michigan jewelery!  After the wedding we had a yummy breakfast then spent the rest of the day running up the room tab by ordering every type of drink possible from the pool-side cabana!  I am newly obsessed with a drink called "Dirty Monkey" which has banana liqueur and Godiva liqueur all blended up and served with a dollop of whipped cream! SOOOOOO good, highly recommend that you try it (but only if you don't care about calories!) The weekend was spent just lounging around and swimming in the pool. On Sunday we, along with 10 friends, went on a local jet-ski dolphin tour and had the most amazing experience.  In case you did not know, or care to know, I am deathly afraid of the ocean and sharks, so much so that I do not go in past my knees. So anyways, we're on the jet-skis when we spot a friendly manatee swimming up by us and quicker than you can say "BAM!" I was swan diving into that water to try to pet it.  That sucker swam right around my leg, it was so amazing! One actually surfaced under Ryan, it was such an amazing experience. But i would like to say that we spotted a shark and a 75-ish pound stingray right after we got out of the water! Here are some pics from the weekend!
