Tubing down the Itchetucknee

So today I went to the Itchetucknee with my friend Jessi and her youth group. It was alot of fun. It seemed to take forever to drive there, but it was worth it. We rented tubes and floated for about 2 hours down the river. I saw tons of fish, a snake, a mother boar and her babies, and a whole bunch of turtles. The water was pretty cold, but it was very relaxing just laying on the tube and floating down the river. After we were done with that, we went over to a spring to eat lunch and then swim. The water at the stream where we went swimming was FREEZING!! It was so cold that it was hard to breath. But the water was very clear and blue and was really pretty. I would definitely suggest taking a day and going down there with friends. It was a very enjoyable experience!
