With today's forecast calling for rain, rain and more rain, we decided to make this our indoor day. I took Erin and Drew to Mote Marine Laboratory, while Baird and Kelsey spent the day at the Ringling Art Museum (special thanks to them for the pic above). Kelsey said her favorite part was the European masterworks; Baird mentioned the gallery reminded him a bit of Florence's Uffizi Gallery.
Meanwhile, back at the Mote, Erin and Drew touched sea creatures, panned for shark teeth, and watched the manatees, sea turtles, and dolphins. Erin was especially excited to view two species of dolphins she'd not seen before outside of her reference books. Drew was fascinated by the giant squid.
We dined at Phillippi Creek Village Restaurant with Peter and DK tonight. It's easy to see why this place is a favorite among locals and regular visitors to the area. We're really getting spoiled with fresh local seafood!
