Krohn Road Trip...Day 11

March 14
Islamorada, FL-Coral Springs, FL
Today we got to experience Everglades National Park with James and Jennifer!  It was so amazing!  I will admit I was a bit nervous about seeing alligators out in the open, close enough that they could gobble up my kids if they were hungry enough!  The scariest/most exhilarating part was when Nathan was running up ahead of us and all of a sudden came running back saying there was a HUGE alligator on the path!  Sure enough, we walked up a bit and there was this humongous alligator sitting right in the middle of the path!!  We were going to walk around it and hope to find another way out, but then it just up and walked off the path, over the bank and into the water.

After spending a few hours in the park, we said goodbye to James & Jennifer and took off for the Ft. Lauderdale area where Jeff was going to meet up with some friends and the kids and I would just chill and hang out together.  We were stuck without a car so we decided to embark on a little adventure and walk to the nearest shopping area to find some dinner. We debated between Thai food (which I wanted) and pizza (what the boys wanted)...and of course concluded that pizza would more likely be enjoyed by all.  We had fun, just the kids and I, but by the time we finished and walked back it was getting late and Jeff was on his way to the hotel.
