Exploring Palm Beach

We have spent the last few days here at the Lake Park Marina, in Lake Park, Florida.  Lake Park is a small town in Palm Beach County.  The marina is quite nice, with much less hustle and bustle of the larger (and more expensive) surrounding marinas.  The Hertz car rental office is within walking distance and we rented a car to explore the area.  Friday night we dined at Seasons 52 which is an upscale restaurant on the AICW.  It has a piano bar, and I enjoyed myself a little too much! 

This is written by Alexis-Today we did some exploring.  We found a small wine/liquor store and stocked up for our next trip.  We crossed the AICW to Sailfish Marina for lunch.  This marina caters more to fishing vessels, but is quite the happening spot.  The marina offers a water taxi to Peanut Island, a local hangout in the AICW.  The marina also has a great ship’s store.  I purchased a post-tax season present for myself.

After lunch we ventured to the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, Whitehall.  Whitehall was the winter home of Henry Flagler, a leading figure of America’s Gilded Age. 

Flagler was a founding partner of Standard Oil and was the earliest and most important developer of Florida.  Besides touring the house and grounds, you also get to walk through his private railway car.  A most enjoyable experience.  Flagler also built the famous Breakers Hotel on Palm Beach.

Many ask us about pirates.  This is one of the most notorious bands.

Moondance is dwarfed by her neighbor!

A boat for the Barkers!
That is it for now.  We fly home tomorrow.  Happy Easter!
