The first is in Italy and the second one is somewhere in the Caribbean I think.

Okay- I just looked it up. It used to have a plaque that read:
"If I take the wings of the morning
And swell in the uttermost
parts of the sea,
Even there your hand will lead me
and your right hand hold me fast.
1927 In memoriam 1988
Michael M. Kevorian"

Apparently it is supposed to inspire underwater explorers. Here is a little information- Sculpture Christ of the Deep

I wondered how that statue got there too

Great pictures Nikki I love the turtle. So pretty .. I guess the calm before the storm.

Great pictures, my favorite vacation was snorkling off the Coast of Freeport in the Bahamas. That is about what it looked like. You really have to experience it in person as it is so much more awesome!

I am envious that sounds like you had a great time!

I know- I don't know why you can't capture it with a camera but you just can't.

So funny you ask because I just now returned from getting sprayed. I did a Mystic the Thursday before we left so I could be sure I had some color over the weekend and it held up great. I didn't really need one today but I hated to miss $10 Monday.

PANAMA69 · 08-18-2008, 05:49 PM

Wow that look like lots of fun!!

Yeah, that's my daughter Lauren. She just started 8th grade much to my shock and horror. When on earth did I get old enough to have a daughter in 8th gr?

I haven't given the Mystic too much time to fade so this week will be the test. I had it done last Mon. then again on Thursday. It seemed to be fading evenly on Thursday though. Then I had another yesterday. I did wear a white tube top (under a dress) and it got some "tan" on it but so far no problem with bras. I comes off on my sheets a little the first day but is okay after that. I just plan on washing my sheets the day after a Mystic so no problems with that really. I've used gradual lotion tanners in the past and they were way worse on my toweles. I'm pretty happy with it.

Lauren is gorgeous!! Wow, 8th grade! What a monumental year!

That's cool you like the Mystic so much. I think I am going to give it another go. My sister-in-law is getting married in Dec. and I am in the wedding party and don't want to look like ghost-girl, but don't want to go tanning either. I think I will do it like you did and get a few in a week. Luckily the dress is black so I don't have to worry about it rubbing on it.

I'm thinkin' of all yall in Florida- be safe!!

[that laast pic is beautifulQUOTE=Nikki+2;2186997]School starts tomorrow so for our last summer fling we went down to Key Largo this weekend and did some snorkeling. The weather was perfect and the reefs were gorgeous as usual. The hurricane is set to hit tomorrow and they were evacuating tourists by this afternoon so the timing was lucky. Just thought I'd post a few pictures.

BTW, I know we have several members who live in the Keys (stay safe y'all!) but I have to say- I am always surprised by the amount of yorkies down there. Everywhere we went we saw yorkies- it was nice but it made me miss our babies.

1. Lauren and I on the boat
2. a sea turtle who let me follow him for a while- so exciting!
3. a bit of the reef
4. Christ of the Abyss statue

I hate how the colors don't show up that well in pictures but it is beautiful! I guess this means summer is really over.

Wow, those are great. I love the fourth one. I wanted to snorkel in Key Largo the last time we were down that way but we were in a rush to get to Key West.

DENISE517 · 08-19-2008, 08:10 AM

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Your daughter is beautiful and looks so much like you. I have a lauryn too. lol

I really like the snorkeling in Key Largo. It's one of the few places that don't make me wish I was scuba certified. If y'all ever decide to go let me know and I'll tell you where the second reef was (not the statue one). I had never been there and it was the best I've seen in Key Largo. We were the only boat too which was great.

I knew you had a Lauryn- I've always loved her spelling.
