This past weekend I went on a little adventure with my friend Jeannette to Shark Valley in Everglades National Park. We tackled the 15-mile trail through the gator-filled park. Check out some pictures we snapped or watch the short video (with authentic Shark Valley sounds!) I put together.

Plan your visit to Shark Valley. Bike rental is available at the park for $7.25 an hour. If you don’t feel like biking, there is also a tram tour available. Reservations for the tram are highly recommended.

Not even an hour into my visit back home to Indiana, we passed this deer in the back of a truck.

The coolest tour bus I’ve seen, this Cool Bus belongs to the band Shining Through. The San Diego guys made a pit stop in Fort Lauderdale on their way to play a gig in Jacksonville Beach.

Backyard delight
The specials at Louie’s Backyard in Key West. I was very pleased with the sauteed grouper and mojito — best mojito I’ve had in Florida (sorry Miami!).

The drive to Key West
One of the 42 bridges I crossed during my drive through the Florida Keys to Key West.
