Mermaid Moment... with real mermaids!
Weeki Wachee is a Florida State Park built in 1947 and is home to "The Only City with Live Mermaids." It is quaint and glows with Old Florida charm. No theme park rides, just a river cruise, animal show, mermaids and a fresh spring to swim about in. My girls and I, along with my friend and her children spent a beautiful summer day there yesterday.
The mermaids perform right in the natural spring where an underground ampitheater was built. There are two different shows on the play list. This year we chose to watch their rendition of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid. If you ever find yourself in the Tampa Bay Area with a few hours and $13 in your pocket, swing on over to Weeki Wachee (Seminole Indian for "little spring") and meet a real live mermaid. We did! And her name is Amanda, and when asked, Scarlette said she smelled good.
Gprgeous, lovely pictures! It looks like you all had such a good time. This place seems like so much fun! Also, that peacock photo is stunning! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Lauren :-) it was a very nice day... A sweet memory tucked away. The peacocks were everywhere! Even albino ones and baby pea chicks running around.
DeleteSuper cute! Everytime I read your blog, I think of those swim fins that seem to be really popular lately! http://www.amazon.com/FINIS-Mermaid-Swim-Fin-Pink/dp/B001GQ2CE4
ReplyDeleteMichelle those are so cute! And pink! I have never seen this type of fin before. I imagine type would be a challenge to swim with. I remember spending hours in the water as a kid pretending to be a mermaid.
