Palm Harbor is just outside of Tampa, and is so diverse with Ocean/white sand, green foliage and boggy swamp area. (Yes, one must keep a look out for Alligators!)
The first outing was to book club with my mother-in law Laurie. The book they were reviewing was Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival by Laura Hillenbrand.
I have not read the book, but I loved the story she wrote on 'Seabiscuit', the race horse, so I plan to read 'Unbroken' soon!
The atmosphere at the restaurant was so beautiful. Big, comfy chairs, outside on a patio, with ferns and flowers all around!
After lunch, we stopped at a Nature Trail that is about 1 mile from their home. It is so cool because the boardwalk is built high, because part of season the land is flooded!
Jessica sat on a big cypress tree that grows well in these sandy, wet areas. Very fun!
At the end of the boardwalk, it opens up to a 8'by 6' enclosed platform that looks over a shallow water hole. We were not disappointed with all the animal friends waiting for us!
No alligators today! (Whew!)
