huh, I was going to tease you about it, because I remembering reading it, and now I can't find it either????????????

is this for kids/grandkids or you??

anyway, I like both

Homosassa Springs (manatees and an incredible bird island, which this time of year should be nesting and such,, 100s of different birds) and also

Gatorland (tons of gators, which I think are cool, and a different type of bird sanctuary with a boardwalk built in the trees, just east of Disney on Orange Blossom Trail)

I also like Fort DeSoto State Park south of Tampa at the end of the key, the fort is really interesting (Spanish American War) and there is a ferry twice daily out to an small island where you can see "stuff" (I've not done that yet, but I think it's a turtle sanctuary and birds - I like birds LOL)
