Avery's Flat Stanley in Florida!

Hello  Class!
     Avery’s Flat Stanley is visiting His grandparents at their winter home in Holiday, Florida, which is just a few miles away from Tarpon Springs. Tarpon Springs is a beautiful community with a couple of nice parks for walking and viewing  manatees. It is also home of the famous Greek sponge dock community.

     Craig Park is a beautiful walking park with a Veteran's Memorial and home to manatees that can swim around freely and undisturbed. The manatee's closest relative is the elephant. They are gentle creatures that can weigh up to 1000 lbs. and can be 10 ft. in length. Click HERE to find out more about the manatee!



     The sponge dock fishing village is an active community that still collect sponges from the ocean floor.The statue is a monument to the sponge fisherman and the boat is lined with real sponges.


     Anclote River Park is another of the beautiful Parks in our area with white sandy beaches and a historic Indian mound.


    We hope Avery’s Flat Stanley enjoyed his visit to Holiday and Tarpon Springs Florida.
