Florida Trip

Daniel and I took a trip down to Florida on March 3rd it was a lot of fun. We flew down which was fun because it was Daniels first time flying and he was a little nervous. After the first plane he decide that flying was not bad at all. We then had to take a taxi to grandma's house which as Daniel says was a lot scarier than the flying. The driver didn't know where he was going and his driving skills were not so great. We got to hang out the grandma, Anne, Caleb, and Elizabeth on Thursday, then on Friday Mom came down and we went to grandpa's hospital they are building a new part to the lab and are going to name it after him. On Saturday we went to Coaco Beach where we spent the morning and afternoon. It was a bit chilly and there were manawars washed up on the shore so I did not go in the water but Mom, Daniel, and Caleb braved it. I ended up getting a sunburn, but whats new with that. On Sunday we went for pancakes at the Old Spanish Sugar Mill at Deleon Springs it was a tasty breakfast. Then Mom, Daniel, and I went to Blue Springs to see if there were any manitees but unfortunately there wern't only some rather large gar. So then we headed to Gainesville. On Monday Mom gave us a tour of her campus, we went to lake Alice where we saw a couple of gators and several softshell turtles. Then we went to the Museum where they have a really great butterfly house with many different butterflies, birds, and plants. We also went to eat at Leonardo's the calzone was awesome. Later that night we went to watch the bats that live in these two huge bat houses right on campus it was really cool I will try to upload the video. Then Tuesday it was back to Orlando to hang out with the rest of the family some more and then back home on Wednesday. The trip was a lot of fun and both Daniel and I were really bumbed to have to leave, it made us both want to move to Florida asap.
