Florida Tourists: The Everglades

After our visit in Ft. Lauderdale, we were headed to the Gulf Coast.  We were going to cut across Florida through the Everglades, so, what do Florida tourists do in the Everglades?? Take an airboat ride, of course!  Aunt Chrissy, Noah, and Emilee joined us on our mid-morning airboat tour.  The ride was beautiful; however, apparently it was too hot for any wildlife to be out.  The only alligators we saw were the ones in captivity at the Everglades Safari Park. 

After our airboat ride, we said our goodbyes to Aunt Chrissy, Noah, and Emilee and then continued west for our next stop, Marco Island.
