Decided to head to the Everglades and have a look. It's amazing, we drove only 20 minutes out of Miami and we saw alligators and turtles in the little canal running along the highway! We got out to take some photos but there were so many gigantic mosquitoes we didn't last long out of the car!!
Headed down to the Indian village and started driving down the Tamiami Trail and then realised we had somehow missed the entrance to the Everglades! Drove back and missed it again. Tried one more time, found it and it was closed! The road was flooded and there was a ranger there stopping anyone from entering. We then saw the signs on the ground, obviously Hurricane Irma had wreaked havoc on the Everglades and their signs.
We decided we had seen enough alligators anyway and definitely enough mosquitoes so we headed back towards Miami. We stopped on the way at The BBQ Pit for some fried gator and frogs' legs. I must admit I'm quite impressed with how adventurous the kids have become with their food, even Kaleb! The gator was quite nice, a little tough I thought. The boys loved the frogs' legs, I couldn't bring myself to do it! I kept picturing these little frogs hopping around and I lost my appetite.
A quick last stop at Dollar Tree (the kids favourite store) for some plane supplies and then back to the pool for the afternoon relaxing and swimming! I can't believe this is our last day!!
Took a vote for where to have our final dinner- Cici's or Denny's. Unfortunately the girls were outnumbered so it was boys' choice which was Cici's! Yummy food though and the dessert white chocolate pizza is to die for!!
