We began by exploring our campground, and one of the first things we discovered was this spanish moss:
We wandered towards the shore of the Florida Bay at the edge of the campground, and had some really cool early-morning experiences watching the birds in and near the water:
Then we checked out the (very pink) visitor's center, saw a manatee (which was Dan's mission for the trip), and enjoyed some time relaxing under some of the amazing trees in the park:
That afternoon, we took a few short hikes and saw our first gator:
And some scenery that reminded me so much of the muddy flats near Anchorage:
Pardon the shaky videography, but our final exciting find of the day was this Roseate Spoonbill feeding in a pond on the way back to our campground:

Wow! Love it. I think that was Barbara that you saw (the manatee). So, any chance you will be passing by NC on your way back north?
