pictures from Key Largo 4 Attachment(s) 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.:D 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.:( |
My mom and step dad just got back from there and Key West today! She said it was beautiful there! I want to scuba dive there SO bad! Nice pictures! So glad you made it home before the hurricane hits. :thumbup: |
Great pictures!! It sounds like you guys had a lot of fun! |
great pics |
Such PURDY girls :)!!!! I just love snorkeling near sea turtles - they are such cute, graceful sea turtles - plus, I always think of the turtles in Nemo (DUDE!). That statue is really pretty underwater like that - so peaceful, eery, and haunting - cool. |

What a really nice way to end a vacation. Very pretty pictures. |
Oh, what great pictures! You're brave! :D Did you trailer your own boat or rent one down there? |
Those are great pics!! Glad you were able to get your trip in before the weather turns |
2 Attachment(s) The statue is very neat- pretty but just a little creepy. It isn't at the best reef but Lauren hadn't seen it yet so we had to snorkel there for her. The second reef we went to was amazing though. We didn't take our boat down- we chartered a small boat so it was us and one other couple plus the couple who captain the boat so it was a small group. Here are a few more of the statue. I've seen sea turtles from the boat but that was the first time I saw one while in the water- it was so cool! |
Cool pics! OK, I have to ask, why exactly is Jesus in the water? |
Great pictures!! ! I really love the sea turtle picture. I would love to see one in the wild. We go to Florida once or twice a year and Ive never been to the Keys. I really want to go. |

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 |

Ah...OK, well that makes a little more sense then. I didn't realize it was put there on purpose. For some reason I just thought it was something that was there and no one knew how it got there. Duh! Geez, am I having a 'slow' Monday or what!? |

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! :thumbup: |

Wow that look like lots of fun!!:p |
Killer tan Nikki :p How has it worn?? Great pics btw, is that your daughter? |

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?:p 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.:) |

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!! |

Thank you.:) |

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. |
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 |
