Photos of My Trip

In other news... yesterday ROCKED!!! Ben decided on a whim to take me to Pompano Beach and rent a jet-ski! I'd never been before. At first, I was a little scared. I'm not one for the ocean and all of it's creepy-crawly-wet-things. I'm more of a stay-on-the-beach-and-walk-along-the-shoreline kind of girl.

Between the two, I'd much rather be at a chlorinated pool than at the scary ocean.

My biggest fear was falling off the jet-ski or it flipping over. Fortunately, Ben drove and I rode behind him. It was sooooooooooooo much fun! We were out there for an hour.

Then, halfway through our hour time limit, we see something greyish bobbing in the water. Ben suggested that it might be dolphins swimming. Slowly we approached the floating object. It turned out to be two GIANT sea turtles!

We were only about 10 to 15 feet away from them. They kept putting their little heads above the water to breathe in the salty air. It seemed like they may have been mating, but we're not sure. I don't watch enough of the Discovery Channel to know for certain.

Whatever they were doing, it was so incredibly neat to be so close to them. I've viewed sea turtles when we visited Sea World in Orlando last July, but seeing them up-close-and-personal in the ocean was an entirely different experience. We must have sat there on the jet-ski for a good 15 minutes just watching them play in the water.

Later, after our time was up and we were driving in the car on the way home, we came across this crab in the middle of the road! I kid you not.

I have a photo to prove it:

My evening ended with a dinner at the Ft. Lauderdale Ale House and an entree of fried scallops.

Go figure.
