Siesta Key Beach Sand Castles

Scott Smith and I headed out to Siesta Key Beach this morning about 7:45 am to beat the traffic as visitors arrived for the sand sculpture competition.  With Starbuck's, camera and phone in hand, we browsed the vendors and got as close as we could to the sculptures.  The gates for admission weren't opening until 9:00 am so our view was afar.

Vendors from the Key showcased everything from Jewelry, T-shirts, sunglasses, etc.  My favorite booth was Fairy Tails Dog Boutique - new on Siesta Key.  I have a 5% off 1st purchase coupon to use for Snuffy's Christmas gift -- the cutest little stuffed aligator!  The young couple from Fairy Tails promised Snuffy could not tear it up.

Scott and I were both amazed at the people already ahead of us this morning.  There were even swimmers and paddle boards in the Gulf.  Cameras were flicking, and I'm sure Facebook, Twitter and Flicker are all chattering about Siesta Key Beach today.  It was so much fun, and the weather fabulous!!!!

Since we were so early, and there were no food vendors selling breakfast food, we headed to Morton's Market afterwards for a huge Cinnamon Danish.  What a great Saturday morning!
