We made reservations for the nature and ecological cruise on the beautiful and historic St. Johns River at Blue Spring State Park in Orange City, FL. What was even more exciting was seeing this sign as we entered the park that morning! They count the Manatee every morning when they take shelter in the cooler spring water. We visited in February and the day was a little chilly – perfect for Manatee!

















Our next stop in the Thousand Trails shuffle was Vero Beach. A little tight to get in but we made it work.




And what do you do when you’re just an hour away from a rocket launch – of course you go! And stand on a bridge with hundreds of your friends!
