Vintage Florida - The Mermaids Of Weeki Wachee

When I was a wee lad I travelled all over Florida with my grandparents visiting many of the great vintage attractions that no longer exist and have memories of all of them.  To my recollection, however, I never made it to Weeki Wachee (and mermaids are not something one normally forgets).  Since I moved back to Florida a couple of years ago it has been an objective of mine to visit any remaining vintage attractions.  While this park is only a shadow of what it must have once been, I still enjoyed it.
