I'm not surprised. It's been many years since I was travelling with kids who would want to go. Back then I remember getting drenched in my street clothes a few times by some little wiseass
Fun fact. I've always heard how the sailors and pirates from the old tall ship days used sometimes think that they saw mermaids swimming in the waters while peering over the ship's rails. But, the "mermaids" were really manatees. No idea if this is just a fable or if there's truth to it, but that's what I've always heard.
Anyway, if you mistake a fat, slow manatee (I love them for their ugly/cuteness, but they're still fat and slow), if you mistake a manatee for a mermaid, you've been out at sea far, far too long! (Or, maybe fat and slow is an attractive mermaid. I'm not judging.)
Did you go down that waterslide?
Hah! I was wearing a winter coat.
That's not a no
I guess I could have. The place wasn't even open. We asked the security guards if we could walk around.
We always went to Florida in the winter and almost all of the water parks are usually closed, even when it's like 80 degrees.

Yep. I think it was in the high twenties Fahrenheit over night.
But what about the Weeki Wachee mermaids?!

I think I'll talk about those mermaids in my road trip post when I write it.
