Treasure Island

What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
~William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

When planning my family's Labor Day vacation I had only two criteria: One, I wanted a beach and two, the beach had to be on the Gulf side of Flordia.  It sounds simple and easy but when one starts looking at the numerous beaches lining the gulf coast the task can become daunting.  I stumbled across the name Treasure Island and did a quick internet search.  I didn't find any negative reviews and so I booked our Labor Day vacation...the name sold me!

My kids are so excited.  I think they like the name too.  I asked them this morning what they hope they find on Treasure Island and my son says he wants to find a coconut so he can drink the water from it and my little girl wants to find diamonds...she's only six but she knows her stones!  I don't know what kind of tereasures we will find when we get there but I know we won't leave empty handed.
