I’m Melting …165/365

I got in my car today and the temperature gauge said 110 degrees, and boy did it feel like it! For the 20 minutes I was driving, I couldn’t even get the car cool. I literally thought I was melting!

Bite Me …122/365

We went on an airboat ride in the everglades today. Although I’ve lived in FL for over 25 years, I never got to go on an airboat ride. I’ve always wanted to, and the time presented itself.

It was way better than I imagined, and we zoomed through small mangrove pathways at over 40 miles per hour. I also managed to obliterate a perfectly good jameson hat into a clean pulp. *Note to self, airboat motors are scary*

So these poor fellows were the result of gift shops gone wrong. Yup they were bred to be murdered and preserved for tourists of all ages to swoon over. But hey, I don’t protest it, I just put it out there for everyone to see…

Row your boat …50/365

Today was AMAZING! I decided to play hookie for a day, which means sleeping in, relaxing lunch by the water, and canoeing at Wekiwa Springs. Well, I didn’t do so much of the paddling since I had to take my photo of the day ;) The hubs unknowingly obliged to the brunt of the work (I would randomly stop paddling and pick up the camera, leaving him to steer us into nearby trees :) All in all it was a gorgeous 69 degrees, sun shining, birds chirping and turtles sunbathing.
