Story

We stopped first at the Rotary Centennial Nature Center. The volunteers there were extremely nice, and they had the kids complete a scavenger hunt in the visitor centor to earn a prize bag of shells. After looking at the exhibits, we went outside and walked around the Florida Native Plants Garden and then the Nature Center Trail. Both were not that good. Then we drove up to North Beach and swam in the water, watched the birds, and collected some shells.
