Why would this post feature a mixed drink...a Tom Collins? First, who even, has ever heard of a Tom Collins? Well..............Our second visit to Casey Key Fish Market, and after biking over 25 miles and it WAS afternoon, decided to order a "fancy" drink. There were Mai Tais, Daquiris, Margaritas...and out of Morey's mouth came, "I'd like a Tom Collins." Talk about some old cobwebs in the noggin being cleared.
This capped our week here at Oscar Scherer State Park and the Sarasota area. Nice campground, right on the South Creek that we kayaked; even has a small swimming lake where you "can swim with the alligators." Also the 11 mile biking trail, The Legacy; which keeps all of us bikers off of US41, the Tamiami Trail. And some great beaches to explore on Casey Key and Siesta Key.
Back to the Tom Collins...actually two of them, while Ruthie downed a Mai Tai and a Casey Key Rum Runner. Was it after the two drinks that we decided that Florida isn't a bad place to visit? Nice beaches, good seafood, and lots of FLAT biking. Let's see how we feel when we sober up.
On this thought, we checked out Turtle Beach Campground, right on the Gulf on Siesta Key. Only 40 sites; but looks like a future return place!
