Shark Teeth

We love the ocean. On our trip to Florida in December, we couldn't just stay in Orlando, it was way too close to the ocean to let that chance slip away. So we took a day to get our toes in the sand.

When Scott was a kid, he went on a vacation to Venice, Florida and found shark teeth in the sand. He thought the kids might enjoy that, so off to Venice we went. We went to Venice Beach and were unsuccessful in our shark teeth hunt. (I started out by looking for big white jagged teeth. Not quite right.) These are fossilized shark teeth - black and not super sharp.

Even though we didn't find teeth there, we found some shells and built an awesome sand castle.

Then someone told us to go to Nokomis Beach. Paydirt. We found dozens of teeth. Pretty cool.



It was a glorious day.
