2008 Vacation Adventure – Day 2
We started our day with a simple breakfast in the condo, then set out for a healthy walk along the ocean, where I got to play Lifeguard. Despite the promised sun, the day was overcast. We weren’t disappointed, however, since it kept the temperatures in the upper seventies instead of the extreme eighties.
The highlight of our trip this far is the cruise through the swamp we took today. Driving a high-tech airboat he built himself, Captain Bruce had us hunting down alligators, discovering a gator nest, and even holding a baby alligator! We cut across a cattle pasture – watch out for cows crossing! – and decided not to get out of the boat for pictures when we saw the bull guarding his herd. He looked as scary as some of the gators we came across!
Keeping with the theme of the day, we ate supper at R.J. Gators next to our Wyndham Resort. The snow crab was fun to eat and delicious after a day of tracking gators and touring the Florida countryside.
Now its off to the movies, then packing and cleaning for our trip to Port Canaveral and our Carnival cruise tomorrow!
