While we shopped Amy and Craig and her parents took a boat tour of the Bay. Then, we decided to meet up at the Ritz Carlton Sarasota for lunch to celebrate Dynamo's birthday! We had heard they had the best kept secret - an awesome burger!

We got a great table outside where you could see the boats and the water! It was a little chilly, but they had heaters!

It was a lovely birthday celebration for an amazing man! I'm so glad we could all be there to celebrate together!

After lunch Dynamo and I made a stop, and discovered a surprise in the car from my parents! Mini-Donuts from the little shop on Siesta!
