Hubby agreed to do something outdoors for a change, yay! I had been thinking about kayaking to see the manatees so today was the day. Get Up and Go Kayaking was super easy to book, very clear directions and we met our guide this morning at the yacht basin. We quickly made introductions and boarded our boats. The minute we got on the water we could feel the stress melt away. We saw lots of manatees, learned how to paddle well together and had a great day outdoors. Such a nice time. Our guide gave us great tidbits about the area and wildlife. It was awesome.

It was AWESOME to see manatee swimming around us. Our 12 year olds were able to paddle the whole way- they wanted to know when we could do it again. I can’t think of a better way to spend the afternoon.
