We all went out on a boat "tour" of Crystal River with Captain Doreen (she was AWESOME). Some enjoyed wine while other enjoyed 'sparkle juice' (sparkling grape juice). It was a BEAUTIFUL afternoon and we all dressed up. I actually dressed my mom and Sandie in my dresses! They wound up taking the dresses home with them because they looked so good in them! Shortly after Captain Doreen pulled away from the dock she spotted a pod of dolphins! We initially thought they were hunting fish with all the splashing around they were doing, but then realized they were doing the "love dance/swim". We watched them for about an hour - Kara and Ricardo even jumped into the water to swim with these beautiful creatures! The dolphins would swim up next to the boat and check us out, swim under the boat and start their splashing again. It is something that we'll never forget!

We had eaten here, Ale House, earlier in the day for lunch. It was really good!
There are signs EVERYWHERE reminding boaters to watch for manatees.
