Today, we ventured out of my parents ™ small town to another small town a few hours away. But this small town has something you don’t find too many places.
Live Mermaids. Yes, folks, you read that right. We ventured to Weeki Wachee Springs, FL and saw some live mermaids. I got a little nervous as we entered the park because I saw these everywhere: What you see here is a naked mermaid statue. They are everywhere. I was pretty convinced that my parents had brought my precious children to a naked mermaid show. And that it was going to make for the best blog post ever. I was wrong. Phew. The show was great – the kids were mesmerized – here is a quick video from the show. The mermaids were invaded by turtles at one point. There was also a boat ride & fresh water springs with a water park of sorts. Here are a few more pictures from our day! Let’s make mermaid crafts!
They used to have a show like this at Aquarena Springs in San Marcos. Growing up, I thought it was magic. In college, a bunch of my sorority sisters were the Mermaids! How fun!
