Other Photographers

There were other photographers on the trip. Since it's my blog, I asked them to send me pictures of me. Vain, I know, but this way you get to see what I looked like on this trip. Hard to believe it was three weeks ago. It seems like much longer.

Bahia Honda

My favorite place on earth. Sadly, I forgot to put the snorkel gear in the car but we were able to see fish without it. It would have been a perfect place to snorkel, the water was crystal clear and still as can be.

It seemed like thousands of fish would just swim right by us in the shallow part of the ocean. We didn't have to go very far out to see all the fish. As I said before, Jordan saw a string ray swim by, but he couldn't get a picture because we had the camera in the kayak.

Fort Zach

We went to Fort Zach to snorkel, but the water was still rough from the storm, so we just swam out to the rocks and took some pictures.

Fort Zach is different because there is a line of pine trees that are behind the beach so you don't have to be sitting out in the sun the entire time you are there. The beach is very rocky or shelly, and water shoes are definitely needed.

Learning to Snorkel

I've probably lost all my readers, but for posterity, I thought I would post some photos from the underwater camera.

We had to practice snorkeling in the pool. And also practicing taking pictures of fish. So while one of us snorkeled, the other one had to be the fish. (That should explain my facial expression in some of the photos).

Today's Rooster

One last time to Mallory Square where there are plenty of roosters to photograph. They never disappoint there.

Last Day

We had to leave by 10 am so there wasn't time to do much especially since my family does not pack the night before (who are these people?).

Since I did pack the night before and I was up at 7, I had time for a walk. I went one last time to Mallory Square. There was no cruise ship this morning so the view of the water was unobstructed.

I asked the family what their favorite part of the vacation was. Jordan said going to Bahia Honda and having the sting ray swim by him. Amelia said taking pictures. Mom said the gorgeous house. And my favorite part was biking in the morning. There was a little something for everyone on this trip.

On our way home

We stopped for lunch in Marathon. I have some morning pictures to post. Maybe I'll have time at the airport.

Amelia's Splashing Around Photo

Here's Amelia's entry. I'm not found of getting my picture taken, but since she modeled for me it was the least I could do.

Last Night

It turns out that the Instagram weekend project was splashing around. Well, we are here and we have that pool so we had to try and get some pictures. Here are mine.

B.O.'s Fish Wagon

We ate dinner out for once. BO's had live music so that little shack felt even smaller. The kids and I signed a sign. We're leaving a piece of ourselves in Key West.
