Weeki Wachee Springs ($&@? Autocorrect). we made a trip to WWS last month. My guess is it has been 50 years since I was there last. This was Florida before Disney. Two different mermaid shows, boat tour down the river, and one of the best burgers and fries I've had in a long time. Also a spring fed water park area. The water is always 74.2 and 110 million gallons a day. From Brownwood, it's a 90 minute drive if you drive like a grandma. No tolls. $13 per person. Free parking. I not a grandparent, but I think this would be a great day trip. You can rent kayaks, but I don't do kayaks in waters with gators, but that's just me.
