Sunday: A wedding in the Spring, in the Spring

We should have got a quick getaway from Yellowjacket, it was the first time we had left the car hitched to the trailer also our first one night stop. However the clocks went forward last night, so we were an hour behind ourselves. We are now only four hours behind the U.K. We did have a web cam link to Andy, Marie and Ben, which was very nice. We moved on to Manatee Spring State Park, while we were waiting for our campsite to be made ready we went down to the spring to have our picnic lunch. There we found a group of 16 manatees and a wedding taking place, in the water of the spring. Lots of good allegory there, but quite chilly. My observation was that they bride and groom were up to their waists in water, but the groom was very soon going to be in it up to his neck. Still it was a very pretty site and gave a whole new meaning to ‘A Spring Wedding’.
While having our lunch we got talking to a couple from Bournemouth who had previously bought an RV in Canada and toured the States for a year. We had a pleasant conversation swapping tips and anecdotes.
Once on our site we relaxed in the sunshine, then in the evening we went back to the spring to watch the sun set, it was very beautiful and peaceful.
