TAKING AN AIRBOAT TOUR

On the last full day in Florida, we all headed out for an authentic airboat tour of the Florida's waters. In the picture at right, Charles and Becca were able to sit on the boat Captain's chairs.  According to Charles, "This was a big boat!" Besides the Captain on top, 12 passengers could ride in the lower part of the boat. With one sharp turn, which caused the boat to pull a full 360-degree rotation, passengers were likely to get wet.

After the ride, we all posed for pictures on the dock with the new Highway 79 overpass in the background, which really looks cool in the pictures, so cool, in fact, that we took a picture of just the overpass itself.

We also saw some interesting sites on the boat trip itself. We saw these really cool trees that seemed to be growing above the ground and that the roots looked above the ground.
