Theater of the Sea (part 1)
Jon and Terry had been so looking forward to taking us to the Theater of the Sea. Theater of the Sea is family owned and operated since 1946 and one of the oldest marine mammal facilities in the world. The lagoons and tropical gardens are home to Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, California sea lions, sea turtles, tropical and game fish, sharks, stingrays, alligators, marine invertebrates, and birds. We all had a blast!
Theater of the Sea is home to four different species of endangered sea turtles: Green (Caretta caretta), Loggerhead (Chelonia mydas), Kemp’s Ridley (Lepidochelys kempii), and Hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata). Each of the sea turtles on display are considered non-releasable for different reasons, including birth defects, buoyancy disorders, boat strikes, entanglement injuries, and predatory attacks. All sea turtles have an assigned primary caregiver, are hand fed a specific diet, participate in daily training and enrichment sessions, and receive routine veterinary care.
This life jacket helps this turtle stay afloat!
Theater of the Sea houses baby, juvenile and adult nurse sharks (Ginglymostoma cirratum). This species is easily recognized by their reddish-brown color and fang-like barbels.

Mat and I have friends that opened up a Crossfit gym in nearby Key Largo so we had to check it out!

The Keys!
We left the Atlanta snow and moved right into a more tropical area, The Florida Keys. We were the second flight out of Atlanta since Monday...and happy to be right on time.
Airport potty breaks are more fun when you have someone to entertain you...Act I
Act II
Waiting on the rental
Top down
The happiness of the convertible would come and go over the course of the next few days.

Snow Days (Round 2) Day 2
PS: Mat did not instruct them to pose like this...2 peas in a pod
I watched this video over and over again and just giggled. Mat said they tried using a kids inner tube (that popped). They also tried to use a boogie board. A plastic tub worked the best. Enjoy!
