    Good morning Jay and Cris Bella and Daisy and Cris's mom and dad and Dad! Happy Heavenly birthday to Elvis and your dad! It's great Cris's family is in Florida and you can spend time with them ☺ it doesn't seem like one year from the Arizona trip at all that was a good one! Looks like more Manatee boats than manatees a busy weekend on the water!

    I totally agree. Old Florida is the best. I understand missing a dad. My dad's birthday would have been next month. I can tell your dad was a great man. He taught you well.

    We usually go to the Atlantic side and avoid the manatee outlook and usually go to the boat launch just down from there and see lots and lots and also dolphins in the Indian river

    That target also has an outdated guest services area which is too cool and the cafe which is rare to still have, that area has been updated but still the concept is something that most don’t even have anymore! Only the Starbucks!

    Love the manatees! We have manatee park here in Fort Myers, which is fun. Wow! Your dad and my son Dale have the same Heavenly Birthday, Elvis Presleys birthday. My son would have been 22. He died at age 19 from Burketts lymphoma. Happy Birthday, may they always look down upon us.

    Not only is it a sin to put ketchup on a Chicago dog, it's also verboten on a regular dog. In the Book of Callahan: 19-83, The Lord called Harry to the mount on the Bay. There the Lord sayeth unto Harry, "NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY puts ketchup on a hot dog!" So there ya go, it's biblical...probably.

    Crystal River looks beautiful😎love to get out there sometime! We have a spot here on the East Coast, beachside in a neighborhood Canal where Manatees hurdle together in the warmer water when it's cooler, sometimes up to 100 are spotted there😍SO cool to see!

    Catching up on your adventures & this was a nice day. Just couldn't help feeling terrified seeing folks in the water. There are gators in Florida 🫣 I can see Grandpa Jay & Grandma Cris rocking on the front porch while the grandkids play. As always thx 4 taking us all along on your relaxing adventure.

    Manatees are such lovely gentle creatures.
    Hopefully someday a house like that on the water will be your family house 👍

    Blue Spring in DeLand is another good place to spot manatees a lot of them when the weather is cold but you can't go in the water when they are there I think I remember you did a video there before?

    The older attractions have a charm to them some of the newer ones don't...especially ones that involve boats! Something about old school stuff!

    My wife and I saw a lot of manatees at Blue Springs State Park last Feb when we were visiting the Orlando area. Was an awesome park and even cooler seeing all the manatees. Very cool and highly recommend a visit if you haven’t been.

    My wife and I swam there New years eve. We invited y'all. You don't know what you're missing till you've sawm with a manatee. It's against the law to feed them
