Leaving Anna Maria Island for Crystal River today.  Beautiful sunny day.  Warm.  Breezy.  It should be in the low 80's for a high today.  We have enjoyed our stay in the Anna Maria area.  Yesterday, we went south to explore Siesta Key.  Then went east into the interior to explore Myakka River State Park.  Had a blast!  Took an airboat ride on the lake.  Saw tons of aligators and birds.  Took a walk in the tree tops via their Canopy Trail.  Walked their nature trail.  Spend some time on their Bird Walk as well.  Not a great day for birds.  It has been very dry in FL this year,
