Grand Kid Weekend

Just finished breakfast and goodby to the Soden's.  It was a fun weekend with the grandkids and their support team.

Sunday we went to the Apollo Power station to see the manatees.

 Interesting twin vortices in the exhaust.

There were lots of them hanging out in the warm water.

There were a few other species enjoying the warm water as well.

Rather large Tarpon, by any standard.  Some around 5'.

After that we went to the Aquarium in Tampa.

There were rays and sharks inside to touch but not this big.

Inside there were birds too!

I had to be extra sneaky to get this close to this one.  Not really, he was quite friendly.

On the way back we noticed that Alaska isn't the only place where they build bridges to nowhere.

I think they'll end up somewhere just not right now.

Yesterday we went to the beach.

Molly and Spencer tried to reposition the water.  One bucket at a time.

One of the locals was beach combing as well.

The water was cold but the air was perfect.  We finally loaded up the mermaids and sharks and headed back to the trailer for dinner and SMORES, yeah!

Now we are back to just hanging out and boring stuff like laundry and reading.  We can only handle just so much fun.

Enjoy!
