    I am WAY behind on this by 9 months. But happy birthday to your dad. I have been binge watching your videos the last few days, as I am living vicariously through your videos LOL. My husband and I also watched your video for Seattle before we went there last year, and started watching you again now because of your Chicago vlog. As we will be making our way there next year in September as we move cross country from Idaho to Ohio. eeek! So, I just wanted to thank you both for your amazing recommendations and for taking time to film these videos for people like me. I truly appreciate you.

    Love the different take on Florida !! Florida has so much more than just beaches, thanks for showcasing that ! If you are ever in Jacksonville let us know !! What do y’all use to shoot in the water ?

    • @AdventuresofMattandNat
      @AdventuresofMattandNat  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you!! Yesss… So much more!! And the “other” stuff is some of our favorites! We will definitely have to hit you up if we’re in Jax! For water shooting we shoot on a GoPro HERO 9. In this video we had it mounted in a dome so we could get the “half in/half out” shots!

    Pretty sure I have watched all your videos now I'm looking forward to Thursday! 😁
    I decided to make a trip to New Or-leans April 16th (I'll be sure to say it wrong for the experience of being corrected 😂)
    Not typically one to share my issues on the internet but I really want to thank you guys for the videos they helped me find joy again!

    Your parents dog Cupcake is the sweetest little thing, just wanna squish her little face.
    I swear you guys get me rolling in every single video.
    You listening to the party line, and the guy says, "you old bitties". I need to bring that saying back. 😁
    And your doppelgangers of your expressions of Nat's annoyed face and Matt's Chic Fila face, 👀☠️
    I wish you could've videoed some of the Ghost Tour, that's right up our Alley. We try to stay in haunted and historic places, even visited Zak Bagans Haunted Museum in Vegas.

Yall were in my neck of the woods with the manatees. I had been doing Manatee tours in Homosassa Springs for years. Although that was not my occupation, I just love sharing what I love to do hence my Germany channel :). I love swimming with the manatees. also, I am originally from Ocala and that is where 60% of my family is from. It was so awesome seeing yall there. I also absolutely love walking around St. Augustine. I loved the faces that yall had made in the wax museum lol lol. I have really enjoyed yall and your channel so much. I have a lot of catching up to do but I am eagerly waiting to watch another awesome video. One more thing, the bloopers are hilarious lol lol.

    Awesome time it looked like you had. Yes, unfortunately due completely to humans not able to give manatees rest and space the incredible back springs is closed most of the time now during the Winter when manatees are here. Everyone coming needs to make sure they know the rules: myfwc.com/education/wildlife/manatee/viewing-guidelines/
    BEING NEAR MANATEES
    Look, but don't touch manatees. Also, don't feed manatees or give them water. If manatees become accustomed to being around people, they can alter their behavior in the wild, perhaps causing them to lose their natural fear of boats and humans, which may make them more susceptible to harm.
    Do not pursue or chase a manatee if you see one while you are swimming, snorkeling, diving, paddling or operating a boat.
    Never poke, prod or stab a manatee with your hands, feet or any object.
    If a manatee avoids you, do not chase the animal for a closer view.
    Give manatees space to move. Avoid isolating or singling out an individual manatee from its group and do not separate a cow and her calf.
    Keep hands and objects to yourself. Don't attempt to snag, hook, hold, grab, pinch, hit or ride a manatee.
    Avoid excessive noise and splashing if a manatee appears nearby. The manatee may be resting and may surface without being aware of your presence. Noise and activity may startle the animal awake, which may put it in harm’s way if it is frightened and leaves the area.
    If the site you visit allows in-water activities near manatees, use snorkel gear and float at the surface of the water to passively observe manatees. The sound of bubbles from SCUBA gear or other devices may cause manatees to leave the area.
    2021 is turning into a bad year for manatee mortalities so mind your manatee manners so the in-water experience can continue: www.fws.gov/refuge/Crystal_River/Multimedia/Manatee_Manners_Videos.html
