This day was a busy one, so there are a ton of photos....sorry, not sorry! Saturday started out with lunch at Gringo's in downtown Orlando....hands down some of the yummiest tacos ever! You pick your own "protein" and mine was of course black beans....they were to die for!
We walked around a bit downtown.....Jenn's husband Chris took some fun pics with the big girl camera...ummmm, he is MUCH better than I am!
I took this one |
Before our next adventure, we decided to stop for a drink....gotta love the name...
The ladies decided (against my better judgement), to have a pickle juice shot. For those of you that have been around for awhile you might remember my first attempt at these was during our Chicago Girl's Weekend bar crawl on St. Patrick's Day 2012....I was not impressed. This time around I was pleasantly surprised and wouldn't be opposed to having them again....Tabasco and all!
On Friday, Jennifer had mentioned how much fun she had had earlier in the year on an airboat ride on St. John's River. Megan and I thought it sounded like a lot of fun, so that was our next stop!
Here is our boat and a view back at the dock as we were leaving....
And we couldn't forget their resident mascot...Porkchop, who apparently will sit on command like a dog for saltine crackers.....what the what - that is some pig!
We caught a glimpse of a bald eagle....
And quite a bit of really pretty scenery.....
That is an alligator nest.....
And a tiki face carved into a tree....
Once our tour was over we saw this little guy on the edge of the river...we was wild but had ventured out of the water close to the parking lot....
The flamenco dancers were amazing to watch and the lady that was singing had a beautiful voice...I didn't understand a word she was saying, but she was very entertaining as were the musicians!
I kinda love this picture! |
You can literally see the crazy sweat on my face, but I had to share, because I love this picture...DSLR selfie |
At the end of the evening we grabbed one of those pedicabs to get us back to the parking garage. Although, I didn't take a picture of the cab, we did manage to capture a couple of shots during the ride....everyone was weathering the heat much more gracefully than I!!!!
