Good Natured Boat Tour

On Wednesday, we went on the Good Natured Boat Tour in Melbourne, Florida.  The couple who run it were very friendly and we saw quite a bit of wildlife.  Well worth the trip! :)
 Two lovely ladies
 The snout of a turtle

 An osprey nest
 Pelican
 Very early in the trip we saw dolphin!!  She had her little baby with her.  The captain said it was probably only 4 or 5 months old.
 
 Another osprey nest.  The captain said it was probably a new mom because this is not typically how they build their nests.  Normally it's away from predators who can get to them easily by land and it tends to be higher up.

 This used to be the General Store.  Back in the day, it used to be just the small middle section. 
 Osprey
 
 
 I took some pictures of houses along the coast.  These houses are unique in that they own waterfront on both sides.  One side is the Indian River and the other is the Banana River. They can cost up to 10 million dollars.  There are celebrities who own some of these houses; Mel Gibson just sold his recently.  I believe Bruce Willis is one of them also.
 
 
 This green pile used to be a dragon. It is called Dragon Point on Merritt Island.  I know Wikipedia is not a very credible source, but if you want more information, click here.  They are working on getting funds together to restore this dragon and the house that is behind it, which is the picture above.
 Not sure what kind of birds these are.
 The other side of Dragon Point.
 This one's for sale!  Maybe we should buy it!


 Another dolphin

 After the tour we ate at Grills Seafood Deck and Tiki Bar.  The food was very tasty.
 Jamie's enjoying her drink.
 My yummy lunch consisted of steak kabob, brown sugar carrots, fries and some kind of tasty toast.
 This coy pond was outside the restaurant.
