Boat names...

I love looking at the names on boats to see what they're called. There's so many interesting things on them. Here's a few i saw in Florida.


"Shawna Marie"


"Lady Thelma"


"Capt. Justin"



and "Sunhippie"

Wakulla Springs

I didn't get a chance to post these photos because some of the hotels we stayed at didn't have wi-fi. But i'm going to try to get the rest of them posted in the next day or two. We just got back in from Florida last night.

These pictures are from Wakulla Springs, in Florida. It has a big spring down at the bottom that shoots out water.We went here on Saturday, after we went to the Plantation. The water was so clear, you could see all the way down to the bottom in most places!



these were all the boats just like the one we road on.


there all kinds of creatures that live at the spring.

lots of birds...





some turtles...



there were even some crocodiles, but they blended in so well, you can really see them in my pictures...

and my favorites...manatees! We saw a bunch of manatees! There were really big ones and small ones, too. It was so cool! I had no idea that there were going to be manatees there. We could see them really good in the clear water, but it was kinda hard to take pictures of them....

First day in Florida. . .

Yesterday we drove most of the day until we got to Tallahasee, but after we got there the firsth thing we did was go to the capitol building. We got there just in time, and got to see a little bit of it before it closed.



This is the dome of the building from the inside



Today we went to the Pebble Hill Plantation. It was so cool! It's a really big old house and lots of grounds. We went on a tour through the house. Unfortunetly, you couldn't take pictures inside of the house, but it was beautiful! Here's a few pictures of the outside though.

this is the front of the house...


and the back...


the huge swimming pool....


this was a tunnel that had vines growing on it.








It was very interesting and I'm glad we had the chance to go to it!

Sorry, that's all the time I have to blog for now, Goodnight!
