Miami Spring Break: Day 2

 DAY 2

Snorkeling day. Drove to John Pennecamp State Park and rented/bought snorkel gear. This was pretty much Dad's day.

Preparing to Snorkel

 

We didn't feel comfortable taking the kids on the boat tour to the reef ... so we waded in from the beach and saw ...

  • Small white fish that blended in with the sand
  • Thousands of guppies
  • Hundreds of fish that blended in with the plants
  • A baby baracuda (RJ and Doug followed him around and then pestered him)
    Next time we need to bring a camera 

  • A few Parrotfish (although they were not too colorful) 
  • School of bait fish that circled Doug several times
  • About 50 mangrove snappers
  • 1 Fish that RJ said was as big as him. That's no fish story ... turned out to be a nurse shark
Two thumbs up for off-beach snorkeling and John Pennecamp!
