Everglades...





When I was in Florida we went to Everglades City and took an alligator tour. It was so much fun! The alligator pictured was about 10 feet long and at one time I was about 3 feet away from it. We were on an air boat, which was a blast too. I learned a lot about alligators from the tour guide.

1. The scales seen are actually their bones sticking out.
2. Alligators can run up to 25mph on land
3. They can swim up to 10mph in water.
4. They can be up to 24 feet long.

Pretty interesting, right!?

Niagara Falls


The week before Christmas my husband and I took a trip to Niagara Falls. Other than the blizzard we drove through to get there, we had a blast. It was my first time seeing the falls and it really was breath-taking. The low rumble of the falls gave me chills, there is just so much power. I'd love to go back in the spring or summer...

Florida!!!

I'm off to Florida today!!! Yay! My aunt has a condo in Fort Myers, so my sister and I are spending a week there. This is the slowest time of the year for me, so I'm going to take advantage of it! Any orders will be worked on/mailed out on February 5th. I'll be sure to post some photos when I get back!!
