We wanted to go to Ringling Museum for a couple of years. We signed up last year and it was canceled.
This year was a different story. The trip got off as scheduled on Tuesday Feb. 12. My Queen got me up and out of bed at some ridiculous hour. I did it though, with the help of some strong coffee. It was worth the effort.
We pulled into the Sarasota Museum around 10:30. From there we got the instructions to meet at building "1" by 3:15. So far so good.
The first order of business was to allow a very nice young Lady give us a tour of the Ringling Hacienda. It was sort of like our homes in "The walk" with those high ceilings. Of course the art work was nicer than what is planted on our walls.
After the house tour we had free time to enjoy food and other exhibits. The pictures say it all. This was an impressive place, but time wound down and off to building one we went (Not wanting to be late.) Well the Tram Driver didn't understand building one and took us to the # 1 attraction in his mind - The Mansion. It took us a while before we realized we were now not early, but late, and a long way from building "1". Oh I have a headache,
We did get to Building "1", but the bus was heading down the road. Thank God I could run and caught it at the light begging the driver to let us on. Thank God I am fabricating just a little. They waited, and we had a minute to spare.
What a good day. Hope you liked the pictures above.
