Return Roadtrip Stop 3

OK ... yes.  We missed stop 2 because that was New Orleans ... and what happens in New Orleans stays in New Orleans.  Besides which, I didn't feel like lugging my camera around the French Quarter.  So stop 3 and the final on the return home trip was Wakulla Springs in the Florida panhandle.

The next morning Tina and I headed out for a morning hike along the trails around the springs.

One of the many sinkholes around the trails.

Then we went on a guided boat tour of the springs and got to see the wealth of birds, alligators, and beauty of the preserved Wakulla Springs.

First of all, our tour guide.  Extremely bright  professor from FSU who enjoyed doing tours a couple times a week to share his knowledge of the local area.

And here's the fellow who made sure passengers stayed on board.

And here's the most beautiful creature on the springs that day.

And then that afternoon we drove the rest of the way home and celebrated a successful couple of road trips and a fantastic reunion.
