Weeki Wachee

There's an attraction halfway between St. Petersburg and Ocala called Weeki Wachee. They're known for their underwater mermaid show, nature trails and wildlife. So when Steve told me he was taking the foster kids there and could get us all in for free I twisted Marty's arm into meeting them there. Aside from getting to see my step-dad and the foster kids the day was a complete bust. The park was tiny and left a lot to be desired. I even tried to convince Marty it was worth the 50 minute drive just to see scantily clad 20-something girls flaunting their mermaid tails, but he didn't take that bait!

Ariana would be happy running around anywhere outside, so she was in heaven. Plus, there were kids and babies in abundance to her delight!








Here I was giving my best mermaid impersanation by holding my breath and 'swimming'. Eh, not so much...
