Here is a trip we took to a place that is a huge natural lagoon water park. We snorkeled with schools of fish over natural reefs. We saw clown fish, grouper, manta rays and many, many other reef fish. This is a group photo of the family with my sons new go-cam.
I was very interested in the gardening. There was lots of different plants see. This is one of my favorites. Unfortunately, growing this in the Pacific NW would not work too well.
Fact *** Birds of Paradise or Strelitzia Reginae, is a dramatic plant with a distinctive appearance. The flowers are iridescent orange and midnight blue in color and look like a tropical bird peeking through leaves. Despite its tropical appearance, it is native to South Africa. Bird of paradise has been exported throughout the United States, though, and florists use it as a cut flower in arrangements.
I grilled out several nights too - I made steak and chicken Fajitas, fresh Grouper fish, I caught the same day on a fishing trip. It made the best fish tacos.
