We spent three days at Kings Bay Naval Station near the Georgia/Florida line, and in addition to seeing 'gators, we visited the Georgia Sea Turtle Center www.georgiaseaturtlecenter.org. Having only opened within the past two years, the center is dedicated to rescuing and preserving the sea turtles of the area. Several big tanks were home to some turtles who were rehabilitating, and hopefully they will be well enough to be released back into the wild. I could readily relate to Simone and her impatience. Having been given a big block of ice with some small fish frozen into it, she chased it round and round her tank until she became completely frustrated and whapped the water with her flipper about five times as hard as she could. Even though she is missing one rear flipper, she is expected to be released soon.
We arrived at the Ft. Meade RV Park on Sunday, May 17 and will be here until June 13. The past ten days have been a round of fun-filled family activities and celebrations. Janet's parents arrived on Tuesday, Colleen arrived on Wednesday, Rachel graduated on Thursday, Sarah graduated on Friday, and Craig, Cassie and Greta arrived on Friday. Saturday was a Kirkwood bash with all of us together at Keith's and enjoying smoked buffalo brisket prepared by Chef Brian.
Then again on Sunday we were all together and joined by Sarah and Rachel's friends for a graduation party. To be continued! Ciao
