| My girlfriend, Alex Beckman, and I drove down to Orlando, Florida for our 2000 Summer vacation. We decided to drive down so we would not have to rent a car and therefore save a few hundred dollars. Luckily, my uncle manages a Days Inn in Orlando so he set us up in a nice large suite for the week that we stayed there. We split the drive up over two days, making it all the way to Jacksonville, Fl. on the first day of the drive. That left us with a three hour drive to Orlando the following day. We arrived in Orlando around lunchtime, so we decided to visit Gatorland before we checked into the hotel. |
| Gator Wrestlin' |
| When we arrived at Gatorland we watched a Gator wrestling demonstration. The alligator was not in the best of moods and although he was not huge he put up a very good fight. The man wrestling him took a few minutes to catch his breath and start talking to the crowd. |
| Alex's new pet Gator! |
| People: Alex Beckman, John Prebula Jr |
| After seeing the pros wrestle the gators, Alex was ready to try her own. Luckily, this one was pretty young and had its mouth taped shut! His skin was very cool and smooth to the touch. |
| A Scene from Indiana Jones |
| This is the view of the large alligator pond from the observation tower. The final scene from Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom uses footage taped at Gatorland. |
