Yes, Saint Armands Circle is great and the area is fun for all walks of life. To get a list of the shops visit http://www.saintarmands.com . Sarasota has a lot of activities to offer a young family. The fishing is great, shopping is fun, the beach and sun are top notch. Did I mention the weather is very agreeable. During the winter, the population of Sarasota triples, yes triples.
