After getting a two-for-one coupon from our Tarpon Springs tourist map, we decided to pop over to the art museum. It was a nice little modern art museum. There were a couple interesting pieces. Of course, as with me and most modern museums, there were a lot of pieces that made no sense to me. But at least it was something fun to look at!

Unfortunately, we didn't get to spend much time at the Sponge Docks. It was a bit more touristy and overcrowded than we thought. The free sponge museum and movie were underwhelming so we just decided to spend a bit more time elsewhere. So we took a drive down the coast a bit to enjoy the sunshine from one of the island causeways. Definitely tried to get my fill of nice, warm weather before heading home!

We decided to take a ride to Tarpon Springs as it's been a while since I've been up there. I had never been to the preserve, so I picked that as a nice spot to take a walk prior to doing some more touristy things. They had a lovely environmental center with lots of interesting information and some pretty snazzy wooden rockers. The trails are well labeled and not too difficult. We spent a good hour or so there, but you could spend a lot more time. Although we didn't see much floral, the fauna was definitely quite impressive. It certainly helps that we were able to get a good shot of a 'Gator (from far away, of course!)
