Thanks. and yea, it was! but I was a little disappointed I didn't get to see a BIG gator. I was hoping I would see mama surface when I found the baby gator, he was only about a foot long, so cute. The gopher turtles were everywhere, I think I saw 30+ of them. That little pigmy rattler was the size of a worm with rattles only a few mm long, while that spider was the size of my hand.
I have been using one of those point n shoot Canon Elph, and you can find them for around $100 I find it easy to just grab and shoot, and I take pics while riding with one hand a lot. Granted, half of what I shoot doesn't turn out though. LOL Only drawback, I tend to destroy one every 1-2 years and I'm on my 4th or 5th one now. This time we finally bought a 2yr protection plan for $25
My wife's family from Sweden rented a house just up the 27 below four corners. We went to Kennedy Space Center, Clearwater beach (way too effin hot) and rest of the time, we just hung out at the pool. They went to the parks while I was out on the bike. Rented it from Evolve bikes in Celebration, very nice town with boardwalks over swamps. The Atlantis Space Shuttle presentation was absolutely incredible. Moving. People were crying. I had goosebumps. a must-do if you visit.
