Up at 5:30AM and off to Siesta Key. Jess & John on the bike, Sherry and The Kids with me driving the Navigator. We arrived Turtle Beach at 7:30AM. No one on the beach at that early hour. Jess, Sherry & the Kids were off collecting shells, while I was scoping birds. I got a Mottled Duck (#202) on this beach. That is a first! Additionally, there were Northern Gannets. They could have been Masked Booty's, but they were too far out to see for certain.

We all enjoyed a sunny day at the beach. We packed up at 2PM and headed into Siesta Key Village for some shopping, after which we headed all the way over to the Hideaway Restaurant for dinner. We no sooner ordered when an electrical fire broke out in the kitchen. We were asked to leave, which we did, just a police fire and rescue were arriving.

We headed back over to LaBelle. for some Mexican food. Home now, and off to shower and bed.
