Today both Kylie and I (ORC) had the day off so we decided to venture down the isles to Islamorada and venture through Theater of the Sea today. We did the open bottom boat ride with dolphins that came up in the center and alongside the boat. Also, we saw a parrot show and a dolphin show. I got to volunteer for the dolphin show and get a kiss from one! We saw a variety of animals there, such as a sea lion named Wilbur, a number of dolphins, sea turtles, stingrays, parrotfish, parrots and exotic birds, nurse sharks, and iguanas.
We went to Robbie's and fed the huge tarpon (and when I say huge, I mean like 4-5 feet). We layed on the dock belly down and the fish jumped up and grabbed the fish out of our hands! The man working said the past weekend they were so busy they went through 2,000 pounds of feeder fish!! I bought a bracelet and a sweet hair clip at Robbie's (they have a little artisan village there).
We also did some beach pulloffs (I believe one was by Indian Key) and got some sweet photos! We swam in the crystal blue waters and we even think we saw a shark (fin in the water)! Which led to our finale...SHARK WEEK!!!
A great day, led to a great night...flight is booked for my vacation. The fastest flight I have ever booked, I searched about 5 minutes, picked one and bought it on the spot. 36 days!! Woohoo!
Lots to look forwards to...Nick is coming the 16th, then Identity Fest is the week after, then just about a week or so afterwards I go on vaca! Great way to begin August!
