We headed over to see the Dolphins





Pesky show offs, never keep still enough for decent pics !

We saw this lady just on her way to the Blue Horizon show



And then on to the manatees – Manatee noses, they are just the best








Then the gators, creepy pic



Some parts of the park are so pretty





We still had a little time before meeting the boys so we stopped at the Cypress Bakery



And had a coffee with a cheesecake



It was lovely and we enjoyed just people watching for a while

Then we headed over to the Rays





There was a young lad with his grandparents who was squealing with delight at touching the rays, it was so lovely to see

But of course they grow up all too soon …





We all felt we had enjoyed a couple of hours here , it was now hot and busier and no one was bothered about the shows so we decided to head off to Friendlies for an early lunch.





It was quite empty.

We had the honey bbq chicken melt sandwiches and Andy had the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich





I had a strawberry lemonade



It was ok. But we wouldn't rush back. Another one that didn't quite live up to our memories.


The bill ...

We left a $15 cash tip.

We had all been looking forward to this but it was a little disappointing , the service was functional rather than Friendly and the food, it was ok , but not as great as we had remembered

We now had a choice as to whether to go to MindQuest for another room game or take a trip to Walmart to pick up the extra suitcases that we needed

Surprisingly, Walmart won !

So off we went

In lots of traffic and increasingly grey skies







We nipped into the store while the teens stayed in the car. While we were inside there was an almighty thunderclap that the lads said shook the car and they were genuinely a bit scared by it

There then followed one of those biblical downpours





Limited visibility !
