By tourist, I mean us. I've managed to get a month behind and we've done so much here and there that I'm just going to give you a pile of pictures!
 |
| It feels luxurious to be parked on concrete! The children have done lots of sidewalk art here. |
 |
| So many gorgeous flowers! |
 |
| And massive trees too! |
 |
| Matchbox cars in color order :). This was not me! |
 |
| What Eldon does everyday......fix RV's! Occasionally rigs come here to be worked on but most of the time they go to them. |
 |
| Manatee Lagoon was a fun place to visit. They like to come hang out near the power plants in winter time because the water is warm. |
 |
| These "sea cows" are huge! |
 |
| Posing with the big statue of a manatee. |
 |
| Grassy Waters Preserve had a visitor's center that the children had a lot of fun at. |
 |
| I could barely pull them away from the microscope. |
 |
| We were happy to have these nice boardwalks. |
 |
| But they also offered tours where you could go slogging through the swamp. No thank-you! |
 |
| These signs gave us all kinds of information about how much good trees do and what they're worth. |
 |
| Air plants are so fascinating. They get all their nutrients from the air and water. |
 |
| You could also rent a canoe but we didn't. |
 |
| This squirrel was certain we should feed it. |
 |
| Lots of lichen around here has well. |
 |
| One very windy day at the beach. |
 |
| Portuguese Man-O-War were everywhere! I was silly enough to try to throw one back in the water (before I realized what it was) with the back of my flip-flop but then rubbed my arm on my flip-flop. That venom is powerful! My arm throbbed for an hour but it finally went away. |
 |
| Hiking at Apoxee Trail. |
 |
 |
| Looking up the Nile Monitor Lizard in case we saw one. They are a very invasive species. |
 |
| This reminds me of a giant house plant. |
 |
| This little laptop bit the dust so I put it in the toybox. Ethan loves "doing business". |
