Everglades National Park

After Biscayne, we headed to Everglades National Park. 

We headed to the visitor station...

We stopped at the Pa-Hay-Okee overlook:

We hiked the Mahogany Hammock Trail:

Then we headed to Flamingo to try to see some manatees...unsuccessfully:

Then we headed to another visitor center to pick up a tram tour where we saw our first alligator!

From the tram tour (which was excellent), we continued seeing alligators until we reached almost 100! I think Ben clocked our final number around 98.

Babies!

We got to stop at the Shark Valley lookout tower:

We wandered the ponds nearby:

We saw lots of birds - herons:

And then we headed to an airboat tour. I had never been on one before, but it was very fun and unique!

Turtles!

After the boat tour we got to hold Rambo (note Chris chose not to participate):

But we did swing by Miami Brewing Company on the way home:
