About 2 hours west of St. Augustine, you'll find one of the most beautiful natural wonders in the southern United States - the fresh water springs of the Santa Fe River. We got there by renting a canoe at Santa Fe Canoe Outpost and paddling down river.
As can always be the case in Florida, we ran in to a sudden change in weather. Thunder, lightning, and a downpour of rain chased us to the swampy banks to find shelter under some trees!
The fact that it's only a 1 in 5 chance to see an alligator on this stretch of the river was cold comfort....I mean, the odds were less than that we'd get caught in the rain!
Thankfully, our son was up to the challenge as he set about setting up the comforts of home (like a place to go to the bathroom!)...
