Weeki Wachee Spring State Park, Crystal River, FL

April 2, 2010. Crystal River is a nice little town. We took a nice walk around the neighborhood. Daddy took us to see mermaid show at Weeki Wachee Spring State Park. It was amazingly fun! We took a boat tour in Spring water and saw some wild life animals.

April 6, 2010 - Moving along a west coast of Florida and gulf of Mexico. We arrived at Port of St. Joe. It was not what daddy had expected. The town was very small. You will only find one and only grocery store there. What used to be a famous fishing town now has no fishing port left. I think that what daddy said. We had fun visit a beach in a state park though.

April 9, 2010 - Daddy and Mommy said they had the best Oyster in Carrabelle, Florida. We hated to leave Florida but we have many more things to look forward to. We're now entering Louisiana. It was strawberry season and we bought 3 boxes of strawberry of 3 bucks. They were really good. We visited Tabasco Factory and jungle garden. We saw many small gators in the pond in their natural environment. We also went to hot sauce festival and had many fun ride, but our most favorite one was a sac slide (?) where you slide down on top of a sac.

Everyone seemed enjoy cajun food including crawfish and all. Suwan surprised us with her big appetite for crawfish. Here people just pile the crawfish in a big tray and crack them all up at the table. It's sort of like eating blue crab I guess, except the banging part. Big Mess either way.

April 14 - Entering Texas passed Houston and El Paso. There were Beautiful wild flowers everywhere on highway- blue bonnet and Indian paint brush to name a few. We didn't recall much of Texas but most vividly about LBJ's ranch in Johnson City. The ranch was big and it was interesting to learn about LBJ and to see living farm. We enjoyed a gift shop in Johnson City because they had little shopping carts for us to push around. Mommy got some beef jerky and chili.

We've been so busy traveling through different towns in past month and rarely had time to write. Part of it was from being so tired and another was from not having access to internet.

We are staying over one night at Lake Powell, Page, Arizona. We have pretty nice view of the lake, mountains and a golf course. We didn't quite get a good view of a sunset because of the cloud and a short period of sprinkle. It's almost freezing here at dinner time. We just had some snow last night when we were at Window Rock. We drove about 4 and a half hours to get to Page. It was really a nice drive. We got to see gradually changes in landscapes, from snowy pine mountains, silvery grass and stunted bushes in low plains to rocky mesas and reddish canyons. It was some fascinating journey.

We would say we had pretty good day today. Lastly, we get to end our day with a nice warm bath and yummy Japanese food. Pretty cool ha.
