To my bestie Megan AKA Blake.............
We were walking through the lobby, headed toward the car, with our Starbucks in our hand. It was extremely sunny today. The heat warmed our backs as soon as we walked. The dock was pretty busy today. People were everywhere. It you tried to find someone, it would prolly take a while. Blake messed with her messy pony tail and pushed up her sunglasses. Everyone stood around, confused at what we were doing. Mrs. Christina said she was surprising us. Which made me even more anxious, because Luke said Wendy was surprising the boys and that her friend was coming. Which I'm pretty sure could be us.
"Oh there it is!"
We started to walk toward a boat that read 'Destin Snorkel and Dolphin Tour'
"Omg I've always wanted to go snorkeling." Blake spoke up.
"Me too!"
I was kinda disappointed. I hope to see Wendy and the boys standing on the boat but they weren't. She's a famous manager. She obviously had more friends than Mrs. Christina.
We weaved through the small kiosks up to one in particular that also read 'Destin Snorkel and Dolphin Tour'. There were slots around the kiosks. Swimming flippers filled the cubbies, all of them somewhat organized. A beachy tanned older man appeared. He had on a t-shirt with the same logo on it and khaki shorts. He was kinda chubby. A sunburn line stretched across his face, Im guessing he wears sunglasses too much. I made a mental note to take mine off when I tan. His Balding head was covered with a whitish brown head of hair.
"We hey there.. You wanna' go on the tour." His country accent seeped though his voice.
"Yes sir." We all spoke.
"Ok well it's 8 for kids and 10 for adults. Go grab you shoe size in The flippers and I'll get your tickets. One of the boats should be back in about 10 minutes."
He started typing something I to the cash register, as we started grabbing flippers and testing them on our feet. I decided on a size 8. We perambulated over the the cool shaped bench and sat down waiting for the boat to arrive.
Soon enough, a large, flat colorful boat pulled in between 2 large post. People started filing in one by one. Smiles cover their faces. Hair wet amd matted from the salt water and clothes soaked. Comments were spree about how fun it was. Some people were thanking the host.
We stood up along with other people that collected on the bench waiting on the boat. I showed the man my ticked and climbed on the boat. Taking a seat in the front. Eventually every one ws on the boat and we headed off.
We pulled up to a string off rocks. I guessing this was the jetties. We bagan to pull out snorkels and goggles for every one. I took one and hopped of the boat and into the shallow water. We were told that it dropped off pretty deep at the end. So be careful.
We got ready and put our head in the water our bodies floated on top as we weaved our way through.
As soon as my head went under , it was a completely different ballgame. There were beautiful, small fish were every where. Somewhere hidden rock other were out and about the coral was brightly colored, displaying it's tentacles. The closer we got to the edge the bigger the fish got, the deeper the water got.
Blake jutted her hand out and pointed to a spot under the water. A blow fish was hovering in place as it tried to wedge it's fat body between 2 rocks. Escaping from all the people. It was so cute. Blake moved her hand swiftly, and the fish suddenly puffed off sending blake into a fit of laughter. She pick her head out of the water and began to cough I did the same and looked at her. She coughed up the water amd started laughing even more.
