Sanibel Island and Shells

We rented a car and took a day trip to the Island. I was there thirty years ago. Jack had never been there. What a difference 30 years makes...

Sanibel has always been known for shelling and the beautiful art work made with shells. 

Before leaving Sanibel and Captiva Island we drove through the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge. You have to credit the Park Service with making the refuge really accessible to all people, regardless of physical ability.

This is one of the many signs throughout the park where you can drive right up next to the sign, use your smart phone to  

digitally scan the picture on the sign, then listen to the audio and/or video telling you about what you were looking at in the refuge. You never have to even open the door of the car, it can all be done by just rolling the window down!
