Wow it was cold here this morning. But warmed up real nice. The other day we took the motorhome to Alliance RV and was going to get a house hold refrigerator put in but found out that it would not fit. So will have to do with the one we have till something comes along. Today we went to Blue Springs State Park. It was about 65 miles north east of here. Blue Springs is a spring that pumps out allot of water and makes a river that is a constant 72 degrees. The Manatees lover it as they have to be in water that is above 62. The water flows into the St John river and they never have to go to the ocean as they find all the food they need in the river. They say there is about 200 of them that have made the area home. We got to see lots of them swimming around and lots of other fish too. There is an alligator that lives in the river too but we did not see him. When we got there the rangers were scuba diving in the river cleaning out old branches. It was cool to watch as one of the young Manatees was following them all over and messing with them. You would have thought it was a dog. She just wanted attention I guess. Then we left there for the Swamp House Grill to have Gator Bites and lunch. The Gator was great and not like the last time I tried it. These were not chewy at all and were great. We also had a huge hamburger that we split.
