Life is short .... eat dessert first, especially at Yoder's. Before going to Yoders, drop in to Alma Sue's Quilt Shop just down the street and watch the Mennonite women doing some beautiful hand quilting on frames. I agree with Toverly, go to the Ringling. The grounds and art gallery are free on Mondays. The Red Barn flea market is always a bit of a hoot. Walk the Village of the Arts and the Riverwalk; market on Main Street on Sundays, shopping at Ellenton Outlet Mall, etc etc. Lots to do.
