Well, since Kris is only here with us for a week, we thought that we should see some of attractions that she had on her "list". She has always been a very good list maker.
So first, on Sunday, we went to Sanibel Island and toured the Ding Darling Nature Preserve. It's a beautiful four mile drive where you can pull over anytime to observe the flora and fauna. Ding Darling was an editorial cartoonist and a famous environmentalist. After our tour, we ate a late lunch at The Island Cow restaurant (we sat outside, just to rub it in to all the northern folks).
Today, we journeyed south to Naples to visit the zoo. Mike and Kim went there with us last year, but Kris didn't get to go. We saw lots of the typical zoo animals and took the boat tour of the primate islands. They have small populations of monkeys, apes, lemurs, etc. on separate islands and the tour boat takes you around to get a closer look at them. After the zoo it was time for lunch again (outside by the water). This was at Pincer's Crab Shack. Sue and I had southern fried catfish and we won't need to eat too much more for the rest of today. If we have the energy, we may go to bingo tonight and try to win some cash.
Here is a slide show of the last two days. The Island Cow sign separates the Sanibel pictures from the zoo pictures.

Living in the North does not prevent one from eating outside in January. It may not be as pleasant as eating outside in Florida, but it can be done. :o)
