April 30 - Grace Tons of Fun gathering - visit to the Elliot Museum - King Tut exhibit.

We had about 22 people signed up, but a couple of conflicts came up. Another couple joined us at last minute in addition.

We gathered at the museum and met Barbara, the docent assigned to lead our tour. The King Tut exhibit includes replicas of actual artifacts. It was mentioned that the exhibit had been on tour decades earlier. Some of our Grace group mentioned that they may have seen this exhibit years earlier, some as far back as 40 years ago.

The docent provided lots of background on the period and artifacts. I believe we learned a lot and several of us came away with some areas of additional self research.

As the King Tut tour was winding down some of the Grace group started visiting other parts of the museum. Eventually others joined them. The car collection and display area was a hit. It has a car jukebox like display system that brings individual cars down from the collection for front and center viewing.

Shortly after that, 9 of us decide to break for lunch at the tiki cafe which is just outside the museum. I think we were all surprised how good the food was.

The weather cleared as we were eating and we decided to take a short stroll across the beach parking area to take a look at the Seaside Cafe and the Stuart beach.

Shortly after that we decided to say good bye. It was nice that we had some blue sky and beautiful view of the ocean as a bonus on our outing.

Above are a few photos from the visit.
