Snorkeling

Snorkeling

Abby had her first real snorkeling experience the other day. She did great! We went out to John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and were lucky enough to see some fantastic fish, including lots of reef fish, a nurse shark, a couple baracuda, and of course, beautiful coral. Even I learned a lot as I took Abby thru the coral aquarium when we got back - coral is made from living animals and their skeletons actually are the coral, it takes 500 years for it to grow, it can only live in waters within a 5 degree temperature range, and is easily damaged by pollutants.

Jetty Park, Florida

We've made it to Florida and are back at Jetty Park again (actually we're only 1 site away from where we were last year). Abby's been playing on the climbing tree, we've found 3 giant horseshoe crabs already, and have met some great people! Abby made friends with the boy across the way (turns out they RV for 3 months each year) and we all had the Browski's (from FOTR) over for dinner. What a cool family they are! Rich was a big help at helping me learn more about my IPod.

Well these two months have taken us from Florida to the Caribbean to Massachusetts and back to New York! Talk about busy! We've had such a great time and met the greatest people. Some of the things we've done over the past two months include:
