R.T. '09: Sarasota FL, Day 1

We had breakfast this morning at Yoder's, an Amish restaurant in Sarasota. It may have been the best breakfast I have ever had. Then we headed to the Mote Aquarium, where I was pleasantly surprised to learn that our Roger Williams Park Zoo membership also gave us free admission - the 3rd place on this trip that we've gotten into with that membership! The aquarium was really nice, and Grammy & Poppi met us there and toured around with us. There were rescued dolphins, manatees, and sea turtles, plus sharks, rays, a giant squid (dead), and lots of other exhibits. The volunteers were extremely knowledgeable and were excited to talk to anyone who passed within shouting distance of their post.

After the aquarium we stopped at the beach for a few minutes, and had milkshakes to tide us over until dinner. Norah slept through that part of the adventure, and woke up in time to hit the pool at the condo. The rest of us had a short nap and then we headed to Grammy & Poppi's for dinner and birthday cake (mine and Adlani's). Adlani has been carrying around his new Bakugan case since he opened it, and is itching to play with his new golf clubs outside tomorrow.
