We met our lovely friends, Pam and David down in Hernando County Florida for a 4 day mini-vacation. We kayaked, conversed, and ate good food!
The first day we made the 7 hour trip and got there about 5 in time for dinner and getting settled in our VRBO house.
The second day we took on the Weeki Wachee River, we oohed and aahed over the clear blue water but didn't see a single manatee. It was fun despite the lack of sea friends and we even stopped and swam in the middle of the river.
No offense to any Hernando County, Florida residents BUT it is not the most progressive place in the world! I saw more double-wide trailers, more leathery old men with nipple rings, more tattoos, and more overweight, bikini-clad women than I have in. my. life. I wouldn't recommend it to those looking for a beautiful built environment and high-society socializing.
On that note, we went to the only one of 2 restaurants within a few miles of the house we rented and it was the Bayport Inn Restaurant. We were the only people not smoking and my favorite character there was a lady with a mullet, cut off mustard-yellow belly shirt, gym shirts pulled above her belly button, and a phone clipped onto her hip, along with a huge bunch of happy meal key chains clipped onto her fanny pack purse. I WISH I had taken a picture! But this is us outside the inn.
More to come tomorrow!
