Longboat Key - Jan 3-10

We spent the holidays in Michigan celebrating with family. Cheap flights to Florida called us to make a quick trip back to the boat. We had a nice weekend together to check on the boat, and enjoy the sunshine and warmer weather. Steve flew home on Monday and Sheli’s mom flew in.

Mom and Sheli had fun shopping, visiting the beach and going to the Ringly Museum in Sarasota. The highlight of the museum was visiting the Circus Museum. This is a 44,000 piece Howard Bros Circus Model re-creation of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus combined show from 1919-1938. What an awesome representation of the huge production it was when the Circus game to town.

It was fun to have mom on board and to explore the beautiful Longboat Key area.

Fun!
