Florida adventures

Our first stay in FL was going back to the Jacksonville area at WW Ranch. A beautiful setting where they have cattle, as well as a llama-alpaca cross, peacocks, and goats. It's really peaceful, even with the animals and the Motocross training facility. The owner is so gracious and we enjoyed 2 nights there just taking in the sunshine, watching the motorcycle training and walking around the ranch. 

Next stop was Ocala Florida where we visited the World Equestrian Center and experienced the training facility and lovely grounds 

We went to Silver Springs nearby and took a ride on a glass bottom boat. The day we were there the weather was unseasonably cool and overcast, so unfortunately we didn't get to see any gators or manatees, but the springs and a few turtles and fish and birds were lovely . 

We also went back to a place we'd been years ago, Big Daddy, Don Garlitz's Museum of Drag Racing. 

so many cars, I can't show them all!

This week we're in Bradenton Florida. It's near Sarasota and south of Tampa. We're not sightseeing, but we were able to enjoy time with my great nephew and his partner, plus this owl.

 Having fun, enjoying Florida, and loving life!
