Tampa Electric's Manatee Viewing Center

I woke up at 6:30am and was out the door at 7:45am including eating breakfast...for ANYONE who knows me well, you will know this was quite a feat!  We left the rig at Lazy Days for a second day and headed out.

Since part of how we roll is to stretch every dollar when we can, our first stop of the day was at a Goodwill Supercenter.  We don't have these in CT, but it was like one of our Goodwills on steroids!  We made a great haul and we didn't even see the whole thing!  

Next we headed to the Tampa Electric's Manatee Viewing Center.  This was a very interesting activity!  It was windy so we were bundled up!  The manatees were all sleeping in the warm water around the Tampa Electric Company where the water is about ten degrees warmer than out in Tampa Bay.  Lots of photos below!  

Grandkids, Gram, etc., you can watch the manatees from home on their webcams, which you can control:

Scroll down and the cameras are on the right.

As we were leaving, we got a call from Lazy Days telling was our rig was ready!

Now onto Fort Myers Beach RV Resort!

Yes, it was cool! They weren't doing much, but it was fun to see them!
