As you may know, I am quickly getting addicted to the hobby of geocaching! :D Naturally, I brought my GPS to Florida in hopes of finding several caches. And I was not disappointed! At the start of our week in Florida we were able to visit my cousins, and we found a cache near their home (left, see how excited my cousin Michael is at finding the cache!)
Later in the week we were able to go to a beautiful park near my grandparents' apartment and collect several caches there. We searched for five, and found three!! I thought that was pretty good. ;)
Following is some pictures of the caches found, and some of the surrounding area. One of the places we went was a veteran's island, and so in addition to cache pictures here I also have included some shots from there. :)

^^My cousin Melissa with the cache--she actually found it!
^^Me with the cache.
^^"Do you see what I see??" Can you spot the cache?? It's a brown box, and you can barely make it out. It was so hard we almost gave up--but then Melissa found it.
^^Fast-forward to the Veteran's Island area. I just loved this pelican!!
^^Grandpa and me with our first cache find of the day!! He found it, it was hard to find. It is just a little bag covered with aluminim foil!
^^The second cache out group found. It was bungied to a tree branch which was over the water...one step too far and we'd have been wet! :P Mom first sighted this cache. Next few pictures are of the area where we found the cache. It was right by the water in between huge roots and trees!
^^This is the area in which we found our third cache for the day. It was in a grove of trees just like this one, spread all over!!
^^This was the cache (colored blue) in the hollow part of a tree. I thought that it was a pretty cool hiding spot! :D
^^Me with the cache.
^^Okay...change of scenery here. After our geocaching was done, we took a leisurely walk around the Veteran's Island. Here's some of the pictures I took! :) Oh, and I really
really liked this shot above!
^^A snake slithered across my path! Eeek!
^^I just loved this cute squirrel!!
(above and below): pictures of the park and monuments.
^^Believe it or not, this photo is in color. I just loved the sun and reflection on the water, with the trees and rocks framing the scene in the foreground!
^^Beautiful pink flower! :)
^^I think I caught a squirrel catching a few ZZZZs! ;)
