Mote Aquarium

Mote Aquarium - Sarasota, FL

February 28th -  Friday -  Cool 68 degrees

Mote Aquarium is located on City Island between Long Boat Key and St. Armands Key.  Lou and I decided to visit the aquarium as my late husband, Michelle and I had visited there in 2007 and enjoyed it very much.  We thought we would breeze through there in an hour or so and go on to another museum; however, we spent the whole day there.

We viewed dolphins, manatees, sharks, sea turtles, eels and many of the southwest Florida plants, fish and invertebrates.  What we found most interesting was the research laboratory where they are working on the seahorses.

It made for a very interesting day.  We were supposed to be at Scott’s house at 5:00 pm to go out to dinner with them, so we skipped lunch and got to his house just a few  minutes before 5:00.
