Tallahassee - Day 3





Our last day in Tallahassee began with breakfast cooked by some of the local Big Bend unit. They made us a huge batch of oatmeal topped by vanilla ice cream - and fresh fruit platters. It was especially welcome since the temperature was still very very cold.

After we ate our delicious breakfasts, we took off with Bob and Elaine for the Waksulla Spring State Park and Lodge. The lodge was beautiful and we had a delicious lunch of navy bean soup and grilled chicken sandwiches before heading out on the boat ride to see the birds and critters.

We didn't mind the cold too much since there was so much wildlife to view. We saw many varieties of birds, alligators, a raccoon, and manatees.

After the ride was over, we headed for St. Mark's National Wildlife Refuge where we saw a lighthouse and bald eagle.

A trip to Costco ended the afternoon, as well as a trip to Winn-Dixie. Tomorrow we drive to Alachua.
