We'll also see his laboratory and a fleet of vintage automobiles. The botanical gardens, full of rare and exotic vegetation and a Banyan tree measuring 400 feet around the base are worth a visit themselves. Edison's friend, Henry Ford, bought the three acres next door. For lunch, we will stop at the Morgan House Restaurant and Trading Post, one of Ft. Myers' oldest landmarks, converted from a private home into a hotel in 1923 by John Morgan Dean.

In 1888, the first train on the Orange Belt Railroad arrived in St. Petersburg. Exactly one hundred years later, Pinellas Trails, Inc. was formed to expand the concept of a linear park and promote public safety. Today, the award-winning trail is 34 miles long and is used by an average of 90,000 persons each month. The corridor links some of Pinellas County's most picturesque parks, scenic coastal areas and neighborhoods. Our trip will begin in Seminole and head toward the recently opened bridge across Boca Ciega Bay.
