My older son and I went on a kayaking tour this morning (they gave us a double kayak), and we saw a number of manatees, pelicans, blue herons, Dolphins and crabs. It was amazing. We are loving Vero Beach.
I won't be able to lift my arms to get dressed tomorrow, but it was worth it. Manatees are such fascinating mammals!

I think that part of it is that they are so big, yet so gentle, curious, and a little goofy. They were definitely checking us out. We are loving the Florida sunshine and warmth - the weather is just perfect this week. |

I love Vero Beach...DH has much family there so we visited often when we still lived in FL.
Glad you're having a nice time...and glad you got to see the goofiness of the manatee.

We are loving the Florida sunshine and warmth - the weather is just perfect this week. But, but, but...it's been COLD this last couple of days!! Like, I pull out an extra blanket because it was so cold at night!! Today was so much nicer, but, but, but...I had on a sweatshirt yesterday!! My brother was born in Vero Beach and I have some really cool memories of living there.  |

It is beautiful here and not a touristy souvenir shop in site. I grew up on the West Coast and had been disappointed in all of the East Coast beaches we visited because of all the schlocky touristy stuff - cheap tshirt stores galore. Vero Beach has been a slice of heaven! Dh dh is taking a bike tour of pelican island tomorrow morning while the boys and I are heading out to the cabana we rented on the beach. Then fishing in the afternoon. It it will be hard to leave on Thursday. |

How cool that your brother gets to write on paperwork for his whole life that he was born here.  |

True, but all of us (my family) were born in various cities around Florida, as were both of my parents and at least half of my grandparents...and one of my great grands.  I live closer to the other side of the state but I am so happy that you guys are having fun! The rest of the week is supposed to be absolutely beautiful. |

We are heading that direction right now! Family lives in Central Florida where I grew up. Tomorrow we're going to Crystal River (I think) to kayak and swim with the manatees. We're excited! My sister and her family each have kayaks. They go out almost every weekend.

Sounds like you are having a wonderful vacation. Manatees are pretty neat.
