Family visited last week, my brother and his two kids from New York. It was a bit rainy due to Tropical Storm Bonnie heading our way (which later fizzled out) but they still enjoyed the great outdoors of Charlotte Harbor & the Gulf Islands. Following a shallow water wading trip with the Charlotte Harbor Environmental Center, it was off to Harpoon Harry’s at Fishermen’s Village for lunch and fossilized shark’s teeth collection at Stump Pass Beach State Park. Check out all we found in about 30 minutes.
