Jim wrote the title of today's blog. Let me explain.
This morning we were up early and got ready for an adventure, a fun day we were so looking forward to.
We left around 9:30 a.m. and headed to Crystal River, Three Sisters Springs. It's been really cold this week and we knew the manatees would be coming in to keep warm in the spring, so we headed over there. Parked the truck at the visitor center. Went in and registered and the bus picked us up, and we headed to Three Sisters.
Here's some pictures of the manatees. We couldn't get over how you could hear them breathing. They would stick their head out of the water, take a quick breath and back under again. They were a lot more active than we expected and there was a lot of splashing going on. We got so close to them. Here's a few more pictures.
Later we plan to meet the Brazen Brits, Laurence and Natalie at 2:00 at a restaurant called Norton's. They were doing a LIVE YouTube video at there house at noon before they left.
By now it was way after 12:00. And we thought we might be starving by 2:00, so we just wanted a drink and little snack. Wanted to be able to talk with them and not worry so much about being starving. So we found this little coffee shop, called KC Wine and Koffee Bar. We also wanted a quite place to watch the Brits LIVE video.
I could either hold it up and hear it, or watch the video. Not both.
We went in, such a lovely little place, there was only one or two people at the bar. Till we left every table was full. We had a drink and Jim and I shared a chicken taco, we each had one, he got some onion rings. I only had two and, I also asked for grilled zucchini and onions, it was supposed to be a wrap but I just wanted veggies, it was fantastic. Almost as soon as we sat four people came in and there was a gecko inside the window where they were sitting. The guy caught it and I helped him get it out the door. They took a picture but I never got one.
We really enjoyed it, and are waitress was fantastic and very personable. Then we headed out walked around the little town took a picture of this beautiful Christmas tree with Santa outside talking with people and taking photographs.
Then we went into a gift shop that was very manatees inspired.
They had the wetsuits in the back that you could go in the water with the manatees. I found a couple little trinkets for Mia. Then we headed out walked around a little more. We went back to the truck dropped off our stuff and got some more water.
Passed a cool mural, and Jim couldn't resist a picture at this fountain.
Then we headed over towards Norton's to meet Laurence and Natalie. What a wonderful visit we had. They were a lot of fun we had a good time hanging out.
They Have a Doberman Opie, Jim was telling him his Dobie story, of when his one childhood dog took a cops gun. It's a good story if you never heard it.
Norton's was really busy, because there was a football game going on a lot of people were watching. Especially inside, luckily we sat outside.
We hung out for a couple hours and then said our goodbyes. Talked of getting together soon at their house.
After we left Jim and I walked around a little more.
I know it was early evening and we decided to head towards home. I did run into a CVS quick to get a mascara. And then we went into Dollar General and wanted TP and paper plates Etc. We got home had a light dinner, small quesadillas, and settled in for the night. We watched the new show, 1983, Was really fun but tiring day.
