Awesome video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤗! Respect the sweet manatees and seagrass beds everyone! ❤

[@Ronaldl2350]

I totally agree. Old Florida is the best. I understand missing a dad. My dad's birthday would have been next month. I can tell your dad was a great man. He taught you well.

[@magiccheeseball]

Good morning Jay and Cris Bella and Daisy and Cris's mom and dad and Dad! Happy Heavenly birthday to Elvis and your dad! It's great Cris's family is in Florida and you can spend time with them ☺ it doesn't seem like one year from the Arizona trip at all that was a good one! Looks like more Manatee boats than manatees a busy weekend on the water!

[@TampaJay]

Thank you!

[@pauline9242]

Forgot to mention Tampa Jay, respect to your dad’s birthday 😇🙏

[@darylturcott]

Always fun to see manatee in the wild. Ive seen them at Ft. Lauderdale and Anna Maria.

[@edwindrood2816]

Wow. With the exception of the kayaks and paddle boards, people should keep the heck out of their way.

[@lastkiss9435]

Agree!

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Nice vlog Jay! The dogs looked good!

[@vacation_fun_makers]

We usually go to the Atlantic side and avoid the manatee outlook and usually go to the boat launch just down from there and see lots and lots and also dolphins in the Indian river

[@noellesimagination7813]

Love the manatees! We have manatee park here in Fort Myers, which is fun. Wow! Your dad and my son Dale have the same Heavenly Birthday, Elvis Presleys birthday. My son would have been 22. He died at age 19 from Burketts lymphoma. Happy Birthday, may they always look down upon us.

[@robertthomas1569]

You will see him again

[@garfixit]

[@markimoofan1239]

[@peteharpas6894]

Yes good advice never call your Fiance a cypress tree been there done that

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

Happy Heavenly Birthday to your dad. 🥳 I'm loving the Manatee searching vlog today with Cris' family. Beautiful day, and God bless 🙌

[@jasondavidstapleton8337]

Tampa jay it is really really cold today it is like being in the freezer i don't like it i want the hot weather back

[@StitchRocksyoutube]

Hey Tampa Jay! Awesome video. I have a question for you: How old is your beagle Bella ?

[@melanieleach5379]

That target also has an outdated guest services area which is too cool and the cafe which is rare to still have, that area has been updated but still the concept is something that most don’t even have anymore! Only the Starbucks!

[@edman6982]

About to be a third location for Coney Island Hot dogs in Bushnell Florida opening soon

[@jasonschannel1315]

Amazing video Jay loved it.

[@edwindrood2816]

Real road trips: finding coffee and pee breaks. Good times

[@pennysworld1317]

Great Vlog. I love that area of Florida. Beautiful ❤

[@TampaJay]

Thank you!

[@davehitt]

Awesome!

[@Jsteng08]

What a awesome video Jay could you imagine having a house on the water there Sitting out on the deck drinking coffee So beautiful

[@andreadennewitz22]

Looks like you guys had a wonderful time cant wait to see what you guys come up with next

[@pauline9242]

Loved your Manatee expedition, with the family . Manatees are such lovely gentle creatures. Hopefully someday a house like that on the water will be your family house 👍

[@cindypowel7517]

Catching up on your adventures & this was a nice day. Just couldn't help feeling terrified seeing folks in the water. There are gators in Florida 🫣 I can see Grandpa Jay & Grandma Cris rocking on the front porch while the grandkids play. As always thx 4 taking us all along on your relaxing adventure.

[@umbertoflocco7866]

Noticed you haven't camped in Delaware yet.Not much here unless you like the beach and Atlantic ocean.

[@junebug58]

Crystal River looks beautiful😎love to get out there sometime! We have a spot here on the East Coast, beachside in a neighborhood Canal where Manatees hurdle together in the warmer water when it's cooler, sometimes up to 100 are spotted there😍SO cool to see!

[@buckeyeguy82]

Thanks Jay, Cris, Bob, Kathy & Daisy for the fun manatee vlog! That looked like a lot of fun & the hot dog looks really yummy. It made me hungry for a hot dog now lol. And happy heavenly birthday to your dad.

[@coupdetat27]

So awesome and cool vid idol jay..🤙

[@TampaJay]

Thank you

[@WhiskeyDtheGecko]

Thanks for coming back to Citrus! ❤

[@joannechance1971]

Please come back to AZ, we would love to see you down here! So happy for you two! Couldn't happen to two nicer people!!!!!

[@angelalinderman9985]

Hey Jay, Cris and mom and dad! Tell them they need to camp in PA it's very beautiful and perfect for camping! Hi Daisy!🤗💜👍 What a pretty place! ( I love anyplace with the word " Crystal" haha wink, 😜) Happy Heavenly birthday Dad! And of course Elvis! My son was born on August 16th unfortunately a sad day for Elvis fans... I'm craving hot dogs now! LOL 😆 Chicago dogs are the best!👍

[@chrislayne3765]

My wife and I saw a lot of manatees at Blue Springs State Park last Feb when we were visiting the Orlando area. Was an awesome park and even cooler seeing all the manatees. Very cool and highly recommend a visit if you haven’t been.

[@magiccheeseball]

Blue Spring in DeLand is another good place to spot manatees a lot of them when the weather is cold but you can't go in the water when they are there I think I remember you did a video there before?

[@lucyheath9281]

I've gone to Blue Springs in Orange City and saw Manatees both times.

[@MikeRuh01]

You and Cris searching for the elusive Florida Manatee's TJ? They're sneaker than Ninja's!

[@Luv2tickt]

Not only is it a sin to put ketchup on a Chicago dog, it's also verboten on a regular dog. In the Book of Callahan: 19-83, The Lord called Harry to the mount on the Bay. There the Lord sayeth unto Harry, "NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY puts ketchup on a hot dog!" So there ya go, it's biblical...probably.

[@jrnlakewood7388]

Tampa Jay, did Cris informed you how hot it gets here in, Arizona from May through October?. Your T.B. Rays go against the D-backs this June, bring Adam the woo also. Check out the medieval times, in Scottsdale, AZ. Hope you and Cris the girl, can do a meet up sometime. John

[@briangilliver2197]

Flamingoooooooooooooooooo, and rock candyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, and manateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@OffRampAdventures]

The older attractions have a charm to them some of the newer ones don't...especially ones that involve boats! Something about old school stuff!

[@christheflex3184]

Tampa Jay head down to Edison /Ford winter Estates they even have a garden for cris the girl you can thank me later for the tip LOL

[@CAROLINATONY]

My wife and I swam there New years eve. We invited y'all. You don't know what you're missing till you've sawm with a manatee. It's against the law to feed them

[@naybur74]

Crystal River got a women on the other side Crystal River got a women on the other side Crystal River got a women on the other side and nothin can touch me here on Crystal River.. -MUDCRUTCH-

[@TrilogyBPM]

you wanna do a boat tour? i know a captain just let me know.

[@robertthomas1569]

An airboat? This place is getting ruined. Too many people chasing the manatees.

[@lastkiss9435]

Anything for money. Let these animals LIVE without sabotaging their Homes!

[@watson4204]

Hey bud their used to be a great spot to see lots of manatees and that was Apollo beach on the east side of Tampa bay by the power plant there was a manatee viewing center , but great vids keep it up Can’t wait to come down and stay at Madeira Beach in march for a week , me and my wife luv you guys much much respect from Michigan
