STUART — Patti Gibbons and Vicky Stein met while working at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute in 2009. Although they are both now semi-retired, they have joined forces under the auspices of Treasure Coast Travel Agency to lead day trips to various places in Florida.
The first adventure will be a cool museum trilogy starting on Wednesday, June 19, to the new Elliott Museum in Stuart. da Vinci at the Elliott features 40 machines designed and made by a team of scientists and craftsmen in collaboration with the Leonardo da Vinci Museum in Florence, Italy, and his drawings.
The group will dine in the Museum’s Outrigger Cafe and spend the afternoon looking at the new “Wheels of Change” exhibit which showcases the Ellliott’s famous and extensive antique car collection.
Cost is $65 per person and includes museum admission, docent guided tour, and comfortable bus transportation (47 passenger bus with two pickup sites.)
Lunch will be offered at 11:30 a.m. in the Outrigger Cafe but is not included in trip cost. It offers an excellent selection of foods, wines, beers, and desserts (the best key lime pie ever.)
