New Adventure!

OWe arrived in Palmetto, FL on 12/27 & will be here for five nights. The name of the campground is Frog Creek RV Resort      

There is a creek in the campground & we have been told that there are alligators in the creek however they rent kyacks & canoes to campers.  We will give it a try this week.

Today we took a ride to Sarasota to the Ringling Brothers - John & Mable Ringling Art Museum & their mansion. The grounds we beautiful & the architecture was magnificent.  We toured around the property & the art museum inside & outside. Beautiful!  Pictures to follow. 

CadZan - Means House of John where John Ringling & Eife Mable lived. 

John & Mable's mansion.

Back of the mansion right on the Gulf of Mexico. Beautiful setting. 


This is the patio which goes the length if the mansion.

The windows in the mansion are all stained glass which were chosen by Mable Ringling.  She also chose & oversaw every aspect of the mansion.

Of course I had to have my turn too! 

Carp rest on the limb of one of the giant trees. 


Great branch for setting on!
