So this post may be stretching the “trying new things” premise, since I’m writing it after my third time attending the oh-so-wonderful Naples Craft Beer Fest. My sister “tried it” for the first time this year, though, at my insistence, and she in turn insisted that it would be worth writing and reading about, so here goes…
This past weekend, on Saturday February 29 in the year 2016, I saw my first manatee. And then my second, and then my third, and then my 100th. There were hundreds in Manatee Park in Fort Myers this cool (for Florida) yet sunny weekend.
I’d never even seen a manatee in captivity and definitely wasn’t sure what to expect from this trip. Friends had talked about the fun experience at Manatee Park, but after two and a half years living in Naples Florida, I’d yet to make the trip. Inspiring myself with this blog (go the extra mile to try the new things, Katy!), as well as a long-awaited-for visit from my mother, I finally did it. I tried the new thing. And it was worth it.
