Siesta Key

The next few days were just like this. In bed fairly early (before midnight) and up at the crack of dawn to make breakfast and dress the kids, enjoy the beach and see what the evening had in store for us. We even managed to do some of the Plan B stuff when the sun got too hot to lay out.

This included Mote Aquarium which was not even close to crowded. Shark tanks, dolphins, loggerhead turtles, learning exhibits and plenty of fish - we squeezed it all in 2 hours before heading out to dinner at Chart House. It was El's birthday dinner for me - really nice place with fresh seafood.
