Sunday a.m. in Florida - CWPG meets dolphins :-)

I awoke early today and left my hotel in Lake Mary, FL bound for the coast and headed north. My ultimate destination was Marineland, a dolphin conservatory south of St Augustine, FL.

Along the way there, I drove up coastal highway A1A, which is a beautiful drive and holds a lot of good memories for me.

The conservatory was established in 1938. The oldest dolphin there is 57 years old! Human years...wow! She has some of her offspring there too. The youngest dolphins there are about 3 years old. The little ones (about 4 feet long) are very spirited and constantly playing. I think the biggest one was about 8-9 feet long and 600 lbs. WOW!

Below are a few pics from this morning. Also below is a link to all the other pics (50+).

Seems like dolphins can always put a smile on ones face just by watching them!
