We went to Crystal River, FL & had the absolute best time. The weather was perfect, our house was convenient to everything & the town was not crowded at all.
The house we rented had kayaks & we used them every day & spent a lot of time out on the water. Very fun.
This was from the 2nd time we went to 3 Sister Springs & we realized we were the only people there. We thought it must be closed because it was so quiet and empty & then we realized we were alone. Very, very cool.
The water was completely clear & very cold.
Unreal.
We hit up this ice cream place a few times; it was delicious.
Just a lot of kayaking.
The area looked like this in real life.
We took turns with the double kayak. It was harder to use, but I like that we were together.
Early morning coffee run.
This was our first night there-we tested the kayaks by going out to King's Bay.
The house was so cute.
The 5 of us crammed into the Pilot, complete with all of our stuff & Max's fishing poles.
In shore fishing excursion fun.
Max was PUMPED! He has been dreaming about catching a Snook for months.
Anderson's was huge!
They said it was really hot, but really fun.
Our car wouldn't start the morning of the fishing excursion, but Brandon called an Uber and all was well.
Coming back in after a successful morning.
GG & Max kept dressing alike on accident!
GG & her boys.
One afternoon Max & I kayaked down to the pier because he wanted to catch Tarpon. He went inside & bought Mullet to use as bait and he was so patient and focused. I did not love just being out there on the open water for so long, but he had a great time.
Stopped by 3 Sisters again on our way back & it was just the 2 of us, again!
GG had to try out the kayak!
Happy Birthday! We spent her day driving home in hours of traffic, but hopefully the memories from the previous days made up for it!
LOTS of evening fishing off the dock.
We made an afternoon visit to Tampa to see the Winstons & rode on their boat in the Bay & fished off their dock.
Manatee adventure, complete with wet suits & snorkeling!
Because it was just the 5 of us on the boat, the boys were able to snorkel in other springs.
THE MANATEES WERE THE COOLEST! It was not manatee season, so we assumed we would not see any, but seeing this giant one and her baby was so, so amazing. They are HUGE! The water was so clear. It was the best experience.
Wet suits before the fun!
Afternoon visit to 3 Sister Springs.
