Islamorada Nature Photography Travel
I wanted to show you some of the cute flower photos I took. I was in Islamorada for a bit, and I got to take a lot of nice photos of cute flowers. Most of them were taken in the Theater of the Sea. The place had a lot of cute flowers, especially orchids. There were not a lot of bees or mosquitoes. I guess the mutant mosquitoes managed to drop the regular mosquito population. Yes, Florida does have mutant mosquitoes. It is a more “natural” solution to the mosquito problem. It is a good alternative...
Artsy Sister Visits The Theater of the Sea in Islamorada, Florida
Last Sunday, I visited The Theater of the Sea with my family. We got the tickets online. We had nothing better to do during our mini vacation. We always drive by there, on our way to Wahoo Bar and Grill. In order to quench our curiosity, we bought tickets to that Theater. Despite its name, the Theater is like an aquarium and a nature preserve. They rescue and rehabilitate animals before returning them to the wild. The shows work on a rotation cycle. We spent 30 bucks to enter the Theater. It was a fair price. We arrived there around...
Artsy Sister Visits Chesapeake Beach Resort in Islamorada, Florida
On Saturday, I drove down with my family to the Chesapeake Beach Resort. We often drive by there on our way to Key West. Since we wanted to explore a new location, we decided to stay there for two days. We rented one bedroom, with two beds. The two-day stay was only worth 980 bucks. It seemed like a pretty good deal for a room with a view to the ocean. Plus, it was the Memorial Day Weekend. The pool was within walking distance. The only issue I had was with the door. It did not close right. The...
Tarpon Springs Florida Bus Trip
On October 30th, I went with my family to Tarpon Springs. We took a bus to got to the trip. From Miami, it was a 5 hour trip to get to Tarpon Springs. We headed out there like super early. The night before the bus trip, there was a cold front. By the time we got to the place, it was super cold and we had not brought a Jacket. Tarpon Springs is by the coast, and it was raining. The first order of business was to buy a light jacket to warm up the limbs. The weather eventually...
Faena Theater Tryst Review
For my mother’s birthday, she wanted to go see the show Tryst in Faena. We normally go see one show from the theater per year. We got seats as far back as possible. The theater is pretty small. So, a far away seat does not matter much. Our chairs were worth 90 bucks a piece. We got these seats because we wanted to eat as well. On the way to the theater, we saw what had become of Miami Beach. The road to it has become super confusing. Just getting to Miami Beach was a hassle. The roads twisted...
