A Tropical Wonder

The tropical waters, the waves blue and bright,
I hear some splashing and look too my right.
A stingrays what I see!
Oh jolly, oh gee!
I took out my camera, who was waiting for me,
To take pictures of animals, trees, and the sea.
I snapped up a photo, two, three, four!
Then went to the hotel to go take some more.
Later we swam in the great ocean blue,
Who seems like she is just calling to you.
I saw some dolphins, skipping along,
They made swift splashes that sang me a song.
We hop on a boat that belongs to our friends,
We want to go sailing before the day ends.
We cruise on the ocean, then enter the bay,
I thought I wouldn’t like it, but I have to say,
It was calm and I enjoyed the ride,
I loved seeing animals and changes in tide.
Everything was great,
Our hotel was not to ornate,
The temperature was fine,
The highest it reached was a nice 79.
The water was salty, but cool and clear,
I just can’t wait to come back next year.
On the very last day,
Of the weekend-long stay,
We went to the board walk,
To ride rides, play games, shop, and just talk.
The warm sunny day,
Later turned gray.
We headed to the game room,
Where all the fun resumed.
We bought a few tokens and won lots of games,
We then headed to the counter where our prizes were claimed.
Our vacation was great, but didn’t last a while,
Before I knew it, I was going home with a SMILE!
