Rest & Gardens 12/8/06 - 12/11/06

Hi everybody,

Not much happened Dec 8th - 10th as I wasn't feeling well and took the time to rest up. I had a real bad cold type thing going on. LOL

On Monday the 11th, Sue & I went to the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, located on S.Palm Ave, Sarasota.

These gardens were preserved by Marie Selby. It is located in downtown Sarasota on the waterfront. (We had passed these gardens when we did The LeBarge harbor tour) There are over 30,000 exotic plants here. It is a research and education center too. It was interesting to see the different plants, but kind of disappointing because many were not in bloom. Also disappointing was the Selby House. You could go inside on the 1st floor only, and there was no one there to explain about the house or Marie Selby.

It didn't take long at all to go through the whole thing- less an 1hour. But alas the day wasn't a total waste !! LOL

Sue took me to a neat restaurant called Cheeburger Cheeburger. It was a hamburger place that was set to a 50's theme. They had many items other than burgers and the food was very good- and reasonably priced. So if you ever get the chance to eat there I'm sure you'll enjoy it!!
