Two Birds In Your Hand Is Better Than An Alligator On Your Ass
And that's true, unless those birds are raptors. That title though...I'm still LOL'ing about it.
I just returned home from an amazing weekend getaway in Orlando, Florida. I enjoyed the break away from the cold and snow, and loved feeling the sun on my face again. Everybody knows that we Michiganders won't really see the sun until April - it stays hidden behind the massive clouds that roll in around October. Though I went with full intentions of having a fabulous time at Universal Studios and The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter, I ended up having an even better time at Gatorland of all places.
Situated on a 110-acre former cattle farm, Gatorland has been a refuge to thousands of alligators since 1949. There aren't only alligators, however, there are also goats, birds, a panther, bobcat, and a cow. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed strolling the park to snap them!
After enjoying our lunch of the gator that mangled Dennis, we made our way to the petting zoo portion of the park which contained goats and 1 cow. The goats were super friendly until they realized that I didn't spend $5 to feed them.
I had a fabulous time here at Gatorland. If you're in Orlando and have an afternoon to kill, I would highly recommend visiting this place. The tickets are a little pricey at 29.95, but they do have discounts for military, senior citizens, and AAA members, and they include a gator jump show, a gator wrestling show, access to the budgies, and the petting zoo. There is also a splash park, but it wasn't in use at the time.

Oh woah, gatorland looks really cool!
I am so happy my best friend had a good time on her well deserved vacation!
Gators scare me as do all amphibians and reptiles. Even though they have a military discount, I don't believe I would care to visit Gatorland.
Have a great week sweetheart!
Thanks, Daniel <3
