​Manatee Village Historic Park located in Manatee, FL. was a destination on the way to a AAII Chapter meeting in Sarasota. The village collection of restored buildings from Manatee County’s settlement history and experience life in Manatee County before the arrival of modern conveniences such as automobiles and electricity. We were delighted that the county created and maintains this historic site and offers visitors a look back in time. The Courthouse we came to learn was the first courthouse built specifically for that purpose in the country! We spent almost two hours exploring the village in addition to the general store and were offered keys to the cemetery across the street for a walk around. (Note: the cemetery was created back in 1850 as a resting place for the town that was hit with yellow fever. See Manatee album here.

We then went on to the AAII chapter meeting where we 'separated' ways - Mom to the reception room of the Realtor offices with iPad in tow ... and me to the conference room to learn about Delta's Financial Economic Sentiment Indicator and the the Treasury's 10 Year Yield Curve used to predict upcoming recessions.

Following the meeting, we went to dinner at JR's Old Packinghouse Cafe for great Cubans and family style conversation with Larry and his wife.
