I Heart Florida!

Many people don't know (and I did that on purpose) that we tried in vitro fertilization in March to get pregnant.  Unfortunately, it didn't work and we'll have to try again.  Not long after we started the process I started to worry how I would handle it if it didn't work, I pictured myself curled up in bed crying for months.  So I decided that if it didn't work I wanted to go on a trip, go somewhere and do something I wouldn't be able to do if I'd been pregnant.  I chose swimming with dolphins.  I've done it in Key Largo and in Jamaica and I thought it'd be great to go somewhere else in the Caribbean, but I couldn't find a place that sounded as nice as the place we'd been to in Key Largo.  And since this trip was all about me having fun, we went back to Key Largo.  We stayed in a different hotel and went to a different dolphin place and added a swim with a sea lion.  It was exactly the fun, relaxing therapy I needed. 

The first night at the hotel they had a fire on the beach with s'mores and live music - very fun

We got to hold all kinds of parrotts

This is the rarest macaw in the world!

Swimming in that beautiful water!!!!

A day trip to Key West is a must

We tried stone crabs claws - slightly bigger than blue crab claws!


I'm going to do seperate posts of the sea lion and dolphins so I can put as many pictures as possible up! We decided we really enjoy vacationing in the Florida Keys and might make it a habit, but we'd never be tempted to buy a house down there that we'd have to repair every time a hurricane hits.

Sounds like a ton of fun! I can't wait to see pictures of swimming with the dolphins! Sorry the pregnancy didn't work out.
