On Super Bowl Sunday we only had to drive about 15 miles north to arrive at Blue Spring State Park which is close to Orange City, Florida.
It was a very popular place and we had to wait about 10 minutes in a line of vehicles just to get in to register for our camp site. You will see why below....
As soon as we set up camp and walked to the crystal clear spring we saw this. Neither of us had ever seen a manatee in the wild before. There were many to watch along the 1/3 mile boardwalk.
This posted sign explained to us what is going on here.
The manatees were, of course, the main attraction but there was a multitude of other fish to see as well.
These large, silent, slow-moving creatures were fascinating to watch. Here are two adults with a youngster on top clinging to his mama.
