one evening {at the hotel}, we had the opportunity to release baby sea turtles to the ocean. it was awesome! we were told to name them. {mine was katie grace and mr. c's was joc}. we stood in a line near the shore and helped them make it to the water. there was one bird swarming above trying to get some dinner...we kept having to scare him away! without help, the babies have about a 10% chance of making it to the ocean. with our help, they are hoping for 90% success rate! the conservationist monitor the eggs {the mamas lay them on the beach} and help make sure they survive...keeping them from predators, etc.
it was a perfect getaway with perfect timing. {i highly recommend leaving the country during election periods...we didn't hear a world from devil trump for five days}! but, by day three i was missing my babies. {it always helps knowing my babies are safe and sound with mimi and papa though}!
from drinking mimosas in first class on the way there to couple's massages to cabanas on the beach to jumping in the waves...i couldn't have asked for more. and, i got to do it all with my favorite person.
*when we got home monday night...the kids had ordered dinner for us, gone to the grocery store, and had homework done. of course, they played hooky that day but, we allowed it. :) |
