[@addisonmccoig8282]

Also there is this ice cream place in Venice that is sooo good it is called Nakomis groves. Best pineapple ice cream everrrr.

[@addisonmccoig8282]

I’ve lived in Sarasota for 13 years I love it so much. My favorite place to go is Selby Gardens it’s so fun for kids. During the winter they have what they call lights in bloom and if you look it up it’s so cool they make all kinds of fun shapes and animals with the lights and put them all over the garden. Definitely my favorite place when I was a kid

[@JD-nd1oz]

Such beautiful scenery.🌴🌴🌞🌊 Thanks for the feel good Sarasota showcase. A virtual chance to travel without going anywhere! From lockdown England 🇬🇧

[@janettesinclair6279]

What a beautiful area you have close to where you live, stunning beaches, amazing buildings, and the food - yummmmm! Your little daughter looks so cute in her bathing suit.

[@Hannnaho]

Precious little Oaklynn! She could be in a Coppertone commercial!

[@LynetteYoder]

😆

[@debbiebousquet5677]

Omg yes. She is the next coppertone baby... She is so adorable. I just wanna scoop her up an hug on her ..... 💕😊

[@angie9182]

Living in MN, this brings a smile😇😉 Thank you. My parents JUST moved to FL this week! We love FL! I'll be sending this to them so they can explore there!

[@sheilalovesgreg3489]

My mom and dad used to spend the winters in Bradenton Florida so I’m very familiar with all the places you talk about and have been to all of them. Saint Armands Square was one of her favorite places to shop! I would go down every winter for a week to 10 days and spend with them and it was wonderful. Siesta key is wonderfully soft and thick sand, so gorgeous!!! No wonder you love it there, it is absolutely gorgeous on the West Coast!

[@ingodwetrust9238]

Hi Lynette I love your Chanel here at KZbin. I moved from Brazil 20 years ago to Sarasota and for me this place is a paradise here on earth. God blessyou and your beautiful family. 💕🌸🌸

[@paularhodarmer3267]

Lynette, this was a beautiful video! I never wanted to go to Sarasota before today, now I do. I live in the Great Smoky Mountains, so I also live in a beautiful place, but the weather is sometimes very cold, snowy or rainy, and today is cold! God has made so much beauty for us to enjoy.

[@JessParizek]

We have a family condo in Siesta Key and I have to say this makes me miss it. I cannot wait to go down in August. I'm a big fan of: Orange Octopus Ice Cream, Waterfront Restaurant, Dutch Valley Restaurant, Old Salty Dog, Pelican Alley [Casey Key, Nokomis] and my all time favorite donut truck -- Meanie's Mini Donuts! I love watching you wonder around Sarasota, it's my "home away from home" and I miss it so much!

[@GracieD1970]

Really loved this video of Sarasota. I have a cousin who lives on Bird Key Island there. There's something about sunshine, ocean and palm trees that is very calming and relaxing. It would be dream retirement.

[@estherfriesen4006]

Very beautiful, would love to go to Florida. I'm in Northern Alberta Canada, and its still full winter season.

[@nancyzahradnik6021]

Hi Lynette. What a nice video. Really enjoyed the sites of Sarasota, brought back many great memories. The beaches, St. Armands Circle, and showing different places to eat, especially Yoder’s Restaurant brought back beautiful memories. We were last there in February of 2020, right before the pandemic. Thank You for showing how beautiful Sarasota is!☺️

[@momentswithmorgan6091]

I live right before Anna Maria island and right now I’m loving cuties cheesecake and cafe ! Deff recommend it’s a new little family owned place ❤️

[@carolstjohn9677]

Loved watching this video! I lived in Sarasota from 1993 thru 2000. I am now in North Florida, have been back a few times to visit but truly miss living in Sarasota,,

[@patriciaeby1252]

Hi Lynette. I recognized ( & miss) so many of these places. We are snowbirds from PA who fly back to Sarasota every winter. I so enjoy all your blogs!! My hubby flips homes and I also love decorating ! Blessings to you & your family!!

[@christyhenley8122]

Oaklynn was to adorable and certainly having a blast . And you looked so cute, I loved the striped dress u had on. It made a great beach dress . Your hair down was beautiful. So glad yall had a fun mommy children day.

[@momrow10]

Loved watching the Sarasota sights. I lived there as a child (1960 -1972) and my brother still lives there. I’m so glad I found your channel. I had a friend in high school named Bev Troyer. Wonder if you might know her? We walked to Sarasota High School together in 71 or 72. Anyway thanks for the pictures. Really enjoyed them.

[@Lavender-doll]

My aunt who is 91 recently moved there with friends to assisted living facility. She loves it,coming from Connecticut.

[@cherylel-issawi1827]

How beautiful!!! Wow it’s so breathtaking some of the scenes that you videotaped. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

[@donnalormand2621]

You made a beautiful video. I remember a lot of places. The beaches we use to be on them as children growing up when we lived there. I really miss them. 🥰

[@leanneb6622]

You are a brave woman taking all the kiddos to the beach on your own. The water, sunset and skyline so beautiful.

[@sandracoulter179]

Thanks so much for this video. I'm a Canadian snowbird and had to stay home from Fl this winter. Love Siesta key and the Sarasota area. Glad to see this video... beaches, palm trees etc.

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Loved this video! I could have cried in parts of it. I wish I could still be there! I guess Sarasota has a special place in a lot of peoples' hearts. Thanks for this video!

[@LynetteYoder]

❤️❤️ your video inspired me to do some filming. It gave me a bit of a shove to get it done! ❤️

[@frackjohn]

Virginia Troyer brought me here. I don't regret it. I too like how you kept it modest at the beach; Being respectful to your body. Good luck with life, may Allah guide you.

[@LynetteYoder]

That’s interesting. She’s my mom in case you didn’t know. ☺️

[@frackjohn]

@@LynetteYoder she made it clear. I think she is proud of you.

[@debbiebousquet5677]

Omg it lookd like they still had fun... An omg ur little Oaklynn is so very adorable..... She is so very adorable

[@momentswithmorgan6091]

We live in such a beautiful place ! I literally love it here !

[@vickidolph1581]

We live in West Bradenton, about 6 or 7 miles from Anna Maria Island. It is such a beautiful place!

[@ssing2490]

These are my favorite type of videos! Living in Michigan, I'm longing for a vacation in Fla so this gives me great ideas! Thank you!

[@LynetteYoder]

You’re welcome!

[@bentroyerjr1246]

Same here! Michigan can be so dreary! That sunshine always looks so attractive! 😍- the Mrs 😉

[@gailrhodes7771]

I loved all the sites and your precious children!!!

[@Wolfing__Around]

We just spent a month there and loved it. Looking for our new forever home 💛

[@janjentz1053]

Great video. Thanks for being a wonderful tour guide of your city. I haven't been to Florida yet, so really enjoyed watching.

[@marypartak8306]

Oh Lynette! I love your tour of Sarasota. We try to get there a couple of times a year. Of course with Covid, that has put a damper on travel this past year. Lido beach is my favorite. Yes Siesta has nice sand and beautiful water but I love the more natural state of Lido.

[@sandylfgrubb]

I live on the other side of Florida and we have the light brown "sandy" sand on our beaches. They're really nice and I live near a beach where you can always find private space to hang out. We do LOVE to come to your coast for the wonderful white sand whenever we get a chance. It's nice that it only takes a few hours to get from one side to the other.

[@bettyelewandowski1789]

Thanks for the tour of Sarasota! It was beautiful!

[@brendatate8986]

The sunshine ☀️ looks so beautiful! The ocean gorgeous! It’s cold here in Tennessee. I’m so ready for spring! Thanks for sharing your city! God Bless!

[@user-mp4zs2by9m]

Just Lovely! This vlog was a real treat! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@jacquelinewesson1202]

The beach looks so nice, you and your family make it look like so much fun (but hard work)

[@helenwilson5575]

This makes me so homesick!!! I’m from the Daytona Beach/Port Orange area but the Army made my husband and I move to Arkansas in 2015 and I can’t wait to move back to Florida. I’ll always be a Florida girl at heart!!!

[@kittyobrien393]

I loved Oaklynn giggling in the surf. Yes, you had better hold on to her. No fear.

[@sandrawilloughby5635]

Great video! What a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing!

[@kristinejackson5522]

Oh Lynette you look adorable with your hair down & the ball hat.

[@EnglishBulldogMom]

We live in Apollo Beach not far from you. So many places we also go to. Love Sarasota also. Thanks for the beautiful video...

[@sugarpoppop3958]

I'll be outdoor every day, thanks for the tour. The baby is so so ADORABLE, always makes me smile.

[@charlottemengel4982]

Oh I'm from Bradenton!!! I didn't know you were in Sarasota! Great video!

[@krystalweaver3270]

This made me very excited for our trip to Sarasota this month.😁 Thank you for all the great suggestions!

[@dianefuchs9114]

Thanks for the tour of Sarasota.We have been from St Augustine to Key West.

[@hollybrooks2620]

Thanks for the video. I love Florida! I think I have a new vacation spot to go!! You and your husband have a beautiful family!

[@madelinechriston8970]

Hi lynnette! This was a great video to watch as I sit her in a balmy 25 degree day in New york lol. I'm just a little jelly. I did however receive my order today from Walnut Creek cheese. Wholly cow! I didn't realize how much I ordered! Lots of mixes, readings, puddings and treats of course. Thanks for helping me discover this place. I'm in love♥️

[@barriewylde5915]

Sarasota Is a very lovely city we love the palm trees.we live on the west coast so southern California is our palm tree location.Really enjoy your You Tube site thank you.🇨🇦🚲😎☔️🌬Today heavy rain and winds and rough seas.

[@denisekorver2047]

Thanks for sharing, enjoyed seeing different parts of Florida!

[@christycancook4944]

I live about 20 miles north of the FL line! We go shopping in FL quite often! Destin most of the time! Those beaches are beautiful and I think a lot of us who live close take it for granted!

[@Rach4729]

Perfect timing, headed to Sarasota later this week. Always on the look out for new to us places to go in the area. Thank you!

[@shellydehart8217]

I think you did a beautiful job in showing Sarasota. As a person who’s lived here for over 50ty years I’ve seen a lot of changes but you showed some great places that even I wasn’t familiar with. Really enjoyed this. ♥️😊👍👍👍

[@debracoulter1250]

Thanks for sharing! It’s beautiful there. I enjoy all types of content.

[@annak4930]

Lynette, your video was so timely! We're planning on coming out there at the end of March and needed some suggestions from a local. Thanks for the tips!

[@SYRSALLY]

Loved the tour. Can’t wait for vacation.

[@sarahcalarco7227]

I just found your channel and I love all your recipes! And we are looking into moving to FL and Sarasota is on our list now! This video is perfect to show us the town and the vibe of the city!

[@HocuspocusISeeAGhostus]

I always am happy when you post a video. I always enjoy the content you mix it up so it's always informative. Love😊💝

[@tonyaclark7908]

We are coming there in June. Its so beautiful there...getting that way here ay least sunny no where near as warm in ohio

[@amyhepler2720]

Looks beautiful down there, maybe someday I will get there.

[@dorothyhughen5378]

Wow!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful scenery in Florida. It makes me homesick as I lived near the Gulf in Mobile, Alabama most of my life. I sure miss the sand and water. The children are getting great tans and are growing like weeds.

[@daviddupre2420]

Beautiful! Thanks for shaking our tree, Michigan has the sun today but I'm sick of the cold weather, be safe and enjoy the "Sonshine"

[@brislife2924]

Great vlog!! We are planning to go to Sarasota and vlog as well ❤️❤️

[@jewellschaefer8863]

Thank you for the places to visit suggestions! I cannot believe you've been in Sarasota 2 years! Wow!

[@amykolstee5212]

Loved this video! Beautiful! Thank you!

[@sergiobrunati7601]

Beautiful place. Thanks for sharing,

[@elisebarthalow6075]

Oh my! Your children are growing so fast! I thought of you and your family yesterday; I was in Holmes County yesterday and heading back to Millersburg to pick up a car my husband and I just purchased and will stop at WCF on the way back. It's beautiful in Ohio today!

[@victoriaortiz8221]

Sarasota is beautiful!!Looks like there's plenty of places to go!!

[@reneateal5980]

I really enjoyed this video. My son lives in St. Augustine. My husband and I love to go visit him.I've always wanted to visit the area where you live. Maybe some day. TFS!

[@jamiehoward3151]

Love seeing all the beautiful places and beaches ⛱

[@14859hnl]

wow beautiful video! You’re making me desperately want to travel to Florida! Pennsylvania is brown and snowy and I’m over it! 🙂

[@shirleymurphy1958]

Thanks for bring back memories.

[@amma3536]

Beautiful scenery! Lived in southeast Georgia for 27 years. Hated the humidity, but the scenery was breathtaking. Sat in my living room and watched the Spanish moss swaying from our huge live oak! Take care and God bless!

[@andreaschumacher9901]

Perhaps next year, then I would ask you. Planing a trip to Florida.

[@yvettebarnett4678]

Beautiful place....beautiful family! Oaklynn is just a doll with those dark eyes and curls!! Such a blessing! Stay safe!

[@lkk4928]

Thanks Lynette! This was a wonderful virtual vacation from this 28 degree day in MD!

[@gmad5952]

They had such a fun day!

[@maried4069]

Very beautiful sunsets, never been to any oceans so would be an amazing trip for my family. I live way up north in Michigan. Snow is still on the ground here and cold, but not too bad this week and the sunshine has been really nice to see. It makes me look forward to our next season - Spring. Love watching your videos, don’t post much but I do watch when I am able to.

[@lynettegrabau5146]

Thank you for sharing your lovely city and the surrounding area! Love it!

[@joycemiraglia280]

Thank You for taking us along on your outing with the kids...the scenery is gorgeous.,.

[@joycetaggart3123]

That was so much fun to see the ocean .And the shops. Florida has not closed down. They say that people are moving there in droves. So get ready with your business. Our kids are in an RV and have been traveling . Well California was basically closed. The covid stopped them from going where they had planned.they got to Texas right when the freezing started. They got to the park and then stood in line for propane. They were lucky to have that and were warm. No water. But it came back. So they are going to try and come to your area. hoping the college kids won't take over. I would love to live there. the sound of the water is wonderful. Thanks again. Joyce

[@nsusla8367]

Having some serious Florida fever with all these views!❤

[@kitw76]

I have lived in the Lakewood Ranch area for the last 10 yrs but from Indiana . It was so neat to see all the places I have visited. I love St Armand’s and Siesta Key! True paradise!

[@kimberlylamitie2869]

My parents live in Venice so this was a nice journey through our second home. 🥰. Can’t wait to get back down.

[@TheNails3]

Your videos are so lovely and calming - thank you for making them, Lynette 😊

[@rebeccaplunk6951]

I thought this video was wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to see Sarasota with you. Love you and your beautiful family.

Oaklynn is the cutest ❤️🥺💕

[@marshamoore6299]

So beautiful there!

[@hsepulveda1]

Lynette, this was a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing the day(s) and locations with us!

[@emilygarris1971]

Thanks for the your of Sarasota, Lynette. We vacationed there for a couple of years in a row. We stayed at a condo in Siesta Key and ate & shopped in Armands Circle several times. Sarasota is just beautiful! I could live there, for sure!! Have a wonderful evening!

[@JulieMelberg]

Being in northern Minnesota, I really enjoyed seeing all this! Please do more!!

[@anetzband1383]

We went to Sarasota for a few days in November, and visited some of these places. LOVED it. We're only a couple of hundred miles north, but our climate is quite different and inland. My absolute favorite place was Detwiler's Market. We bought most of our food there, and brought some home too.

[@kkornhaus]

I was born and raised in Sarasota and raised Mennonite. I have family that still live there. Which church do you go to? I moved to Port Charlotte (45 minutes South) 4 years ago and come to Sarasota to visit here and there. It's a beautiful place, but I do miss the more laid back Sarasota before everyone knew about our secret paradise :) Southside deli on Hillview has really good chicken salad sandwiches, Bankok on swift rd for great Thai food and Burritos on Clark rd for Tacos! I definitely second Toasted Mango! Good video!

[@mildredbc5425]

Thank you for sharing!💕🌴

[@Lisa-cj6vx]

Thanks Lynnette!!! I really enjoyed this !!!!

[@shirleykinney3777]

What a beautiful place.We have friends that moved there about a year ago.We lived in Ft.Walton Beach Fl. for 20 years.The beaches there are so white and pretty.I never took my daughters to the beach very much because of the mess we had to clean up.Which is sad.Thanks so so much for sharing this.I enjoyed it.

[@blessedmama1604]

We just got back to overcast Ohio from sunny Florida! So so beautiful there! We stayed in Marco Island this time which was like paradise on earth!😍

[@ozarkview928]

My husband and I spent time in Naples last winter then stopped to see friends in your area . We went to siesta key beach after spending considerable time finding a place to park then the beach was so crowded!! I couldn’t get away fast enough 😂
