florida

Last week, we were in Florida visiting my parents.  There are a few things that must be on the agenda while visiting the Sunshine State:

1. Eat as much Key Lime Pie and seafood as possible

2. Find gators, geckos and possibly a wild pig.

Mike and I had never been to the preserve before.  It was a lot of fun, we saw so many animals and even on a hot day, the temperature was very comfortable walking around the slough.

We were quite successful in our quest to find gators, geckos and although we didn't actually see a hog, we heard one grunting up a storm.  Additionally, we saw plenty of birds, a water moccasin and when we were swimming in the pool at my parents, we had a snake swimming in the deep end...talk about a good way to clear out the pool! yuck!

Oh yes, and we enjoyed more key lime pie than one should consume in one week.  It was great!
