Kentucky/Florida Photo Bonanza

 Kentucky:

This is one of the very first photos from the trip. This was taken at the Kentucky state line. 

This is a photo of JJ Heller and her husband singing at the concert. 

This is a panorama view of the canyons at Red River Gorge. 

LOL this is the worst picture ever of me trying to show the beautiful canyon, but it was really sunny so
I have my eyes awkwardly squinting and trying to stay open at the same time. 

Here's me and MF underneath the natural rock bridge at the gorge. 

Here I am hugging some stuffed snakes in a gift shop near the gorge. 

This guy is one of the teens in The Happy Church's drama team. His name is Cody and he said
"they always make me be Jesus." because of his hair. Hahaha. 

Here's a selfie I took with one of the wild horses. 

Here is a beautiful photo, courtesy of MF, of me and one of the young wild horses.
We named her "Cautious". 

Here are some of the crazy people on the bus ride home, sticking their heads up out of the emergency
exit on the bus when we had to stop for about an hour because of an accident on the road ahead of us. 

This is a photo of the AWESOME wall that Vicki, Chloe, MF, and I laboriously built. 

Florida:

Here's me and MF in front of Solomon's Castle. 

Me and MF in front of John Ringling's mansion. 

Me and MF on the bridge in the nature trail at Solomon's castle. 

This is us with the scrawny little old man, Howard Solomon, who built that whole castle
and made all the art inside of it. He was so adorable. 

I absolutely love this photo because it you look closely, I'm yawning and MF's eyes are closed because we were so tired.
It was like 8AM and we're feeding Goldie, (the bird). She's a yellow encrusted night heron, and she follows
MF's grandparents around their house like a little pet. 

In the pool in our trendy hats. 

MF eating fresh lime ice cream at Nokomis Grove.

Here we are awkwardly dancing among a bunch of old people at the Ringling Members event. 

Me holding two SMALL cones of fresh orange creamsicle ice cream, also from Nokomis.  

On the balcony between the Circus Museum and the Art Gallery at Ringling. It felt like being in ancient Greece. 

I'm holding a manatee bone, and MF is holding a cow bone. 

The beautiful botanical orchid show at Selby Gardens. 

More at Selby. Isn't this like way too beautiful to be true??

Standing amongst the roots of a humongous tree at Selby. 

Standing in front of a huge statue of the famous photograph, "The Kiss" taken after World War II. 

On the very last morning, we took a photo with Staggy, MF's grandparents' 'pet' Staghorn fern. 

Me and MF at the Siesta Key beach, AKA the most adorable photo on the planet.
