Cheap Southern Fun

Dad and Betsey were in town this past weekend for a quick visit before they returned to dreary Idaho (seriously, still snowing!). We had beautiful 85 degree weather so, we decided to introduce them to a north central Florida treasure, the Itchetucknee River! It's a spring fed river (fun factoid--it produces 230 million gallons of water every day) and is a fun, cheap way for us southern folks to stay entertained and cool.


Jeff prefers to traverse the river in a tube.


He really tried to stay somewhat dry when he mounted his floatation device but, he promptly flipped right off the back of it.


I prefer the yacht of the floatation devices--72 degree water is a bit chilly for my taste.


It was a great way to spend the afternoon! We had a fun couple of days and can't wait to have my Dad and Betsey back in Florida soon!

There is so much fun to be had on that river. Good memories there!
