Today is Sabbatical Saturyday, I’ve spent some time researching some events and activities that are happening this weekend in our area. Our family is like so many other families in this economy. All our income is eaten up by mortgage payments, insurance, utility bills, and anything left over seems to get goggled by unexpected car and air conditioning repairs. Finding free or extremely cheap activities to do is really important to me.

| Winter (from Clearwater Marine Acquarium's website) |
We have a local dolphin celebrity here in Clearwater. Winter the dolphin is known for her prosthetic tail. Hollywood recently made a movie about her and yesterday was opening day for the movie! So this family outing is twofold. Head out to your local theater to catch Winter’s movie, Dolphin Tale. Then head over to the Clearwater Aquarium to see the star herself. It’s about $10 per kid and $15 per adult. Not exactly cheap. BUT if you are an educator you get in for free. Although the price is somewhat high for a relatively small aquarium. Most of the employees are volunteers, they are a rescue center, and they have to feed all those animals. So you know your admission is going towards the animals.
All of St. Pete’s amazing museums are open to the public for FREE today (9/24/11) from 10am to 3pm. If you have been wanting to check out one these museums and have been putting it off. Today is the day people! It also includes the Downtown Walk Tour (10am and noon).
This is one of Jordan and Emily's favorite places. We've only been once or twice but we love it. Each area is designed to stimulate problem solving, creative thinking, and role play. Regular admission is about $10 for kids and $15 for adults. But they have special events and coupons out there. The first Tuesday of every month is $2 Tuesdays. But this weekend they are celebrating their birthday! There will be a huge event 9/25/11 at noon at the museum. With prizes, radio Disney, a marching band...and all for free! Admission to the Museum is just $5 until September 30th!
Now all we need to do is decide who we will spend out weekend together!
