Sudha wanted to see the Dolphins (she heard from someone in her class/teacher that she could swim with the Dolphins in Florida during her pet theme week in school). The Theater in the Sea in Isla Morada on the way to Key West from Miami was recommended by a friend and it seemed like it was a better experience than the commercial Discovery Cove/Sea World.
It was awesome! For an entry fee of about $35, a lot of animal interaction was included. There were shows around the clock and while the Parrot show was a little boring (and hot), the Dolphin show and the Sea Lion show was cool. After the tricks, they invited people from the audience to interact with the Dolphins and Sea Lions. Sudha went up for both! I'm so proud of her for being curious and brave to go up. She pet the dolphins and shook hands/flippers with the Sea Lion.
Super excited! And it looked like the dolphin was trying to talk to her/follow her/interact with her.

Shaking hands/flippers with Mimi, the sea lion. This was really brave of Sudha as she did not like the sea lion's barking one bit. And it was loud.
The engineering marvel of the 7-mile bridge on the way to Key West. We didn't go all the way to Key West and turned after the bridge. I wanted to particularly see the bridge after watching a show on bridges on Discovery Channel.
