Today was lots of fun. We stopped into the Harley dealership to rent a couple of hogs but they did not have any available so we went down the street and rented a scooter and a scootercar for the half day instead.

There was a live orchestra playing big band swing music at the band shell this evening that drew us in to sit a spell and tap our feet. This really is a vacation spot that appeals to every age group.
