Venice Pier

This year we decided to go up to Venice and browse around the shops, something we hadn't done since our first trip to Florida. What a variety of neat little specialty shops. We certainly did not bring enough money for that :) Well, we DID have enough money for the chocolate shoppe. Caramel and dark chocolate covered apples!! Homemade caramel...Yum-O! And the fudge...Mmm. After browsing the shops, Dad took us to Sharkey's at Venice Pier. We had a booth with a view and some of the best fish & chips I have had in a long time. While we were there, we saw a dolphin out in the water. It stayed around for quite a while. Of course I only had Aly's little camera and not my Pentax with the zoom lens. :( So while Skyeler took picture after picture, you still cannot see that there is a dolphin out there. After dinner we took a walk out to the end of the pier. Quite a few fisherman were out on the pier. One allowed Aly a look at his fish and then let her throw it back into the water. Skyeler spent her time watching the dolphin.

Our booth with a view!

Skyeler can't get enough of watching the dolphin.

This is the fish. The fishermen told us what it was, but now I have forgotten (of course!). Aly wanted a picture before she threw it back.
