Sightseeing

Hard to put a category on this. For $65 each, plus a recommended 20% tip, we took a 6 hour trip 25 miles out. Everyone caught fish! They cleaned the fish for us, and it was absolutely delicious.

Fascinating place, if you like this sort of thing, or even if you don't. Good for a rainy day. Some exhibits outside, but many inside as well.

The Truman movie as filmed here. Architecture very interesting and lots of artsy shops. A good day trip, primarily for adults.
