 |
| Two pelicans landed on our airboat just before we left on our ride through the mangoves in the Florida Everglades. |
 |
|
 |
| We saw a raccoon and several alligators. The gators swam right up to the edge of the airboat while the guide explained how we were well within reach if they decided to jump out of the water. |
 |
|
 |
| An Everglades National Park naturalist was our guide through the 10,000 island area as we took a 3 hour evening canoe trip that ended well after dark. |
|
The warm water generated at the St. Petersburg Power Plant attracted hundreds of manatees during the unusually cold January temperatures. |
 |
|
 |
| Sawgrass Lake Park in St. Petersburg was filled with hiking paths and bird viewing areas. |

 |
| Tiffany and David played golf with us . . . when we weren't shooing the wildlife off the tee boxes! |
