But it was a little nerve-racking for my hubby driving the car onto it. But all was well and we had a great cruise! Thank you for liking the hats. I was glad we thought of it as the sun was quite bright and hot! It was fun...and God definitely blessed our day.Pamela M.

Love it! <br />Yes, we did enjoy the ferry ride very much! It was very peaceful, and also saves about 30 minutes of driving if we had driven all the way around to that same point...it would have taken about an hour or more, and this was so much more fun! I'm glad you enjoyed the bird photos. They were a bonus...plus the alligator! Have a blessed weekend my friend. Please feel better soon.<br />Pamela M.

It has been an adjustment for me in some ways...hubby and I home together all day...sometimes that is great...sometimes not so great, but we do have a good time. Our weekends are filled with taking care of his mother, so we really don't have a lot of "free time"...therefore we try to take advantage of the weekdays when she is not here. Thank you for stopping by today. Enjoy your weekend!Pamela M.

I love it when I get a guest and we "have to" go somewhere I don't usually get to go. It forces (helps) me to see things I don't get to appreciate as often as I would like. There is so much beauty all around.<br /><br />Your birds photos are fantastic.<br /><br />Did you like the little ferry ride? It has been a very long time since I've been on such a small ferry. I quite like them. It is always amazing to me too just how much a little tug boat can pull or push. I used to see a lot of them here helping to steer the big ships into the harbour.<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by and commenting on my post today. I've seen added a photo of my hat but I couldn't get a good photo of the vest.
