Day Two Continued.....Tuesday afternoon.

John and I were beat after we got back to the hotel Tuesday afternoon, but the kids seemed to have this bottomless source of energy because they wanted to go mini-golfing.  We had found this place that has alligators that you can feed after you golf on something resembling a pirate ship.  We all got changed and headed to check it out.  It was pretty cool - you used these long poles to dangle little bits of dried meat in front of the baby alligators (still about 4 feet long) and they would chop at it. 

After golfing, we drove up to Longboat Key and Lido Beach - which is an area just a bit north of Sarasota.  We walked on the beach for a bit here where the sand was softer and whiter than Caspersen.....but still not as soft and white as Siesta Key that we'd see later.
