Tubing on the River

Having family and friends visit is always a good excuse to get out and explore places and do things you haven't done yet or in awhile. So, we did that with my sister Karen and niece Danielle when we went tubing down the Ichetucknee River. Fabulous adventure and I highly recommend it. Poor Don, he was in the Keys and missed it.
The river flows through shaded hammocks and wetlands before it joins the Santa Fe River. In 1972, the head spring of the river was declared a National Natural Landmark and is open for swimming. It is known as the Blue Hole. We didn't get to it this time but will the next.
The river is breathtaking. We give it two bums up...
I can't believe I forgot our snorkel gear...
We explored a cave...
Let some wildlife ride along...
Swam in the river...
And just relaxed...
