One of the things that Brea really wanted to do while in Florida was see a Manatee. She did a report on them when she was 7 and wanted to actually see some. We went out three or four different times (to different locations) to see if we could find any but never saw any. Then our last day in Florida (Sunday Nov 4th) at our last stop we finally saw some. We saw a family (2 adults and a baby)- they were HUGE and so lovable looking. It was so amazing. We even got them close enough to touch. A fisherman said that if you come to that location at night fall that you can see 40-50 at a time (that would be cool). It was so cool to see these huge friendly sea-cows and know they are almost extinct. After seeing them it brings such a love and dedication to keeping them safe. It was a perfect ending to our Florida Adventure.
