Palm Beach, enclave of the wealthy...

No we didn't unearth a long lost buried cache of gold in the garden, we just spent a fun weekend in West Palm Beach. Started at the Palm Beach Gardens Hilton; $99 a night and that included the best breakfast buffet of which I savored every second of the tummy ache from overindulgence. First stop, Lion Country Safari, it was OK, but even with a found Internet coupon not worth the $$$. Skip it unless the ostrich is your thing.
Next stop John D. MacArthur Beach State Park:

Oh my golly, what a spectacular park and beach; to get to the beach you have to walk across a 1600 foot long bridge over the estuary to get to it...a great way to burn off our morning breakfast.

And being as this is the beginning of turtle nesting season here in FLorida we ended with a visit to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center.

Check out their website if you have a few minutes to burn, they have a turtle cam.
