Saturday - January 28

 Cool, cloudy and breezy most of the day.    We left at 9 for North Port to visit with Allie and Owen.....always fun to be with them and today we had more of that fun!    After visiting at their condo, Allie drove us to Venice where we had a late yummy breakfast at Skillets.    Then to downtown and the big Art Fest on Venice Avenue.   Allie and I went to this 2 years ago - it's a great show with so many creative wonderful items.    Owen and Mark sat on a park bench and yakked while we hit all the vendors (3 blocks of tents back to back).   Big crowd, the sun came out and it warmed up - really pleasant to be out and about.  We each bought some things (gifts and for ourselves) and back to North Port around 3.     I drove us home and we settled in for the night.

Lots of very clever mermaid creations around town designed by an artist and then sponsored by some company/organization, etc.

Here are the shoppers with one of these incredible designs
Allie and Owen

We'll see them later in February when they come to Fort Myers!

Tomorrow we are off to Bradenton and Tampa visiting friends...home on Monday afternoon.
