We headed to Key Largo after The Everglades.
We planned to spend one night in Key Largo and had a snorkeling tour scheduled at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park.
When we arrived at the park for our snorkeling tour, Terri and I were taken aback by the name of our tour boat…
Terri described seeing the name Journey as a affirmation of faith. If you look closely at some of the photos you will see this cross-
It says: Faith is being sure of what we HOPE for and certain of what we do not see, Hebrews 11:1
For Terri and I, our Faith Journey has been intrinsic to her healing journey and the Journey of our partnership and marriage. God’s Grace has blessed and guided us throughout each of these Journeys. God gives us reminders on a daily basis- and the name of our tour boat was just another reminder, He is guiding us…
I have never snorkeled before and I can’t swim. So I said yes to snorkeling? I am not afraid of the water as long as I have a flotation device, or Terri to hang on to. She prefers I have a flotation device… I must say, the first 20 minutes for me were pretty rough; swallowed a lot of salt water and panicked more than once… Did I mention I did have an inflated vest on? And I still held on to Terri. Once I calmed down and sealed my mask correctly, I actually enjoyed it very much. In fact, Terri and I snorkeled again in Key West. You can tell Terri and I are in our fifties, as others had special water-proof cases for their Smart Phones, Terri brought a Fuji 35 mm under water camera she purchased in the 90’s… So those pics will be posted once we get the film developed. They still do that, don’t they? Come to think of it, I haven’t seen any of those little drop off booths in a few years. Where’s Thrift Drug when you need them?

After snorkeling, we headed off to Key West. Terri and I stopped off at a little restaurant along the way.
The restaurant has very nice outdoor seating with a great view of the Bay. It also has a permanent guest named little Snookie-
Not to be confused with this Snooki.
Terri enjoyed feeding our new friend-
But Snookie did not get any of this. Best key lime pie frozen cocktail ever!
