Bradenton's new Riverwalk

If you haven't discovered the newest jewel in Bradenton's crown - you have to find your way to the new Bradenton Riverwalk.  As if a quiet walk along the river taking in its beauty isn't enough, there is always something fun going on.  I just enjoyed a wonderful Friday evening: the weather was perfect, the sky gorgeous from the sunset over the River and all the while listening to the great live music.

Or looking for more, you have to make sure you make it down to see the Embracing Our Differences art installation.  It will be on display for a month and you don't want to miss it.  You have to take the time to see them all, and I just loved seeing the kids engaging with the art.

 Here are kids with their scavenger hunt - looking for the hidden pictures.  That is probably my favorite part about the Riverwalk, between the outdoor living rooms, the state-of-the-art skateboard park, the splash park and the public art ... there is something for everyone.  I think a friend of mine said it best when she said, "I have lived here for over 30 years and this is the first time I have had a sense of community."  Well said!
