Last week, I traveled down to Siesta Key with Katie to honor her recently departed aunt. While I love the beach near me, I can see why Siesta Key was so important to Katie’s family.

The powder white sand is probably the main reason why Siesta Key is ranked among the 25 best beaches in the world (according to TripAdvisor). Our long beach walk was capped by a stunning sunset, truly a fitting tribute to end the day.
