Where am I?



I've been on a vacation with my husband (well, he's had to work, but I've been playing) since Saturday.  Can you guess where I am?  Here are some hints.  Bonus points if you figure out the city.

1.  It's a teeny tiny "island" connected to the mainland by a bridge.

2.  The wind blew a lot last night, but this particular area rarely sees hurricanes. 

3.  There were alligator heads at the souvenier shop, but the big, infamous alligators live on the other side of this state.

4.  There is a sign nearby that claims this beach was voted best beach town on the gulf of Mexico in1999, or some other year in the last decade.  I honestly can't remember.

Also, for those who go to church with me, I am in Angela S.' home town.

Any guesses? 

And a side note: 

We had the BEST gelato (homemade) Italian ice cream last night, as well as some delicious Italian food made by the real deal, homemade pasta and all.  The marinara sauce was the best I've had in my life.  I wanted to ask for the recipe but didn't think they would be willing to share their secret.

We leave this afternoon for home.  Can't wait to hug and kiss my kids again!

anywhere tropical (with gelato) is good enough for me. So glad you were able to get away. You deserve it!
