    Really enjoyed this. Went last year and pretty much did the same stuff as you two. I miss it so much! Nice to hear a couple of Yorkshire(?) accents too haha. Always dead awkward trying to explain whereabouts I was from to Americans lol

    That vintage store you went in was amazing! And then you went to Cracker Barrel . Absolutely perfect. The alligators I could do without.

    Cool animals, the Crocodylia! From an evolutionary standpoint very efficient and closer relatives to birds than to any other reptiles. Nature is amazing ❤

    Leigh. When you mentioned Cracker Barrel cornbread early in the video, I started craving it. I'm glad you went to Cracker Barrel. Cracker barrel was started in Lebanon, Tennessee.

    The gators are so scary!! I'm so surprised they allow people o get out the cars and get so close to them. They move very fast . Be so careful around ... they don't play around. great vlog though :). I'm sorry you got sick Leigh.. I thought you sounded a little congested in the video prior to this. glad it wasnt't covid and you were able to get out and enjoy your day :)

    Great vlog. The next time you go to Cracker Barrel, try the hash brown casserole side, its delicious. I don't like the dumplings either, it's just mush 😮. Love the biscuits and corn bread too. 😊 xx

    Cracker Barrel is hit or miss. Quality can be good or bad. Mine was bad, my sisters looked really nice. Almost looked like they came from different kitchens. I love looking around the shop, interesting stuff. I loved seeing you counting the alligators, they give me the creeps. Great vlog.

    That wildlife drive certainly delivered when it came to alligators! And antique malls like that are a great deal of fun just to walk around in and see what they have. I rarely buy anything at them, but they’re fun to walk around and look at. As it happens, I had Sunday lunch from Cracker Barrel. Yes, that is what dumplings are in the US. I like the meatloaf there a lot, and I always love the hash brown casserole, which I will take over the mashed potatoes any day.

    Ok, why is there walking trails near the water where the alligators are? Bluudy hell, I would NOT have even gotten out of the car😂 Fantastic vlog guys, gave me a bit of anxiety re animals that can eat you, lmao, Love Ya’s ❤❤

    Thank you for doing the Covid test. Chicken and Dumplings is a Southern comfort food. You cook the chicken for a long while until it falls off the bone and you then tear it up into shreds in the pot. Then you drop the biscuit dough into the pot, and it cooks. Thank you for your vlogs. They are always so interesting. I wouldn't miss one of them. I have actually gone back and looked at some from years ago.

    Chuck E. Cheese is actually a pizza place that pretty much caters to little kids… you can have birthday parties there and Chuck E. Cheese rat comes out, dressed up😂…. I have absolutely loved Cracker Barrel… It’s one of my favorite places to eat. However, we don’t have any out here… I literally have to go back east to eat there😩

    That's a lot of gators. Have y'all ever driven Alligator Alley in the Florida Everglades? It's a stretch of Interstate 75 that runs from Naples to Ft Lauderdale. We did years ago. There are places to stop and get a good look at the Everglades, gators, and other wildlife

    I appreciate that you were conscientious and did the COVID tests. COVID is not gone. Florida does not have the best vax rate, and also there are people from everywhere, especially in the parks. I personally know 3 people who have tested positive in the past 2 weeks. Thank you for thinking about others, and also taking care of yourselves.

    Chucky cheese been round forever tho the closed a lot of them in Orlando area . Never been to cracker , went in once and walked back out as the queue was far too long . Not really a lover of weak mash or veg. 🤣 but price looks good . Hope Leigh didn’t suffer too long with cold. Sending hugs 🤗

    Luckily gators usually eat between dusk and during the night,and only need to eat once or twice a week.

    I can't even believe you still did a covid test. I think that time has definitely passed. Honestly what would you have done if it was positive and you felt ok. I doubt you would have locked yourself away for 10 days 😂
