12/29/16 Thursday

A beautiful Thursday and we have been told this is the last really nice day till the weekend as a cold front is coming tomorrow the high will be 65 degrees. So we decided to day is the day we need to go to the Theatre of the Sea. About a 2 mile bike ride for us so we thought we would leave early and get some breakfast before we get there. Off we went and about 50 ft from the boat the chain breaks on our bike!!!!!  I was just sooo happy it happened now instead of 2 miles away!! Lol
Rod took his bike and rode to the hardware store and purchased another chain and was back, had it on, and we were ready to ride in 30 mins! I just figured God was trying to slow us down for some reason! Thank you Lord!!
We stopped at a place suggested to us The Bayside Restaurant and Bakery. It was a real treat! As you can tell we love to eat! Hehe
We were still at the theater of the sea by the time it opened! We visited show after show of all the dolphins, sea lions, parrots, and many other aquatic animals of the area. All their animals are here as a rescue as they are unable to be returned to their habitat, or they were born at the center. A great day!! We have been before and if you ever get to the area, don't miss going!!
Exhausted we returned to the boat around 3pm. Rested, and then a few chores (I'll be doing clothes for the next couple of days), and Rod needed to fill our water tanks, and clean up in the motor room a little. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck and watching the sunset, and watching a sea plane go out of the marine that brought a coupl here to eat at the restaurant hen took them back to Miami. We did not see them arrive but did get to see them take off on the water. Neet to watch!! I did look up the seaplane tour and it is $450.00 per person!! To fly from Miami to Islamorada have lunch and fly back!
I served leftovers from the Shrimp Shack we brought home yesterday.
A restful afternoon/ evening! Music every night here at the marina, so that's a real additive to the evening relaxation time!! Hehe
We took 65 pics today! I will post a few of them!! Hope you enjoy!
Much love to all, This year is almost over!! Ms. Fran & Capn Rod
