And of course there are still all of the 'regular' things to do such as walking the seawall which is a nice stroll from the yacht club all the way downtown to Cameron Island. Don't forget the Farmers Market on Friday, the cannon firing daily at noon, both at Pioneer Waterfront Plaza, beside the Bastion.
Speaking of the Bastion, if you have not been inside, what are you waiting for? Don't forget to drop into the Museum on Cameron Rd. to see their latest exhibits. There is of course all of the lovely Parks and 'swimming holes' to take advantage of as well. If enough people turn up, the weather just has to get more like summer, right?
