Feeding the Tarpon

Today was the first day of our trip to the Florida Keys. We drove from Boca down to Islamorada stopping at the Divers Outlet store on the way (this will now be a tradition). Its a nice stopping point because its right at the end of the turnpike and at the busier section of rt. 1 before you pass the sign with the giant marlin that to me marks the beginning of the keys. after that you still meander over more highway and eventually cross the bridge (no idea what its called) which gets you officially onto the islands and at mile marker 106 (love that system - its so impossible to get lost in the keys).

After we checked into our hotel, The Islander, in Islamorada, we headed over to Robbie's on the bayside. Robbie's is a very keys type place, with a small marina, and a few shacks selling stuff outside. They are known for the giant tarpon that are near the dock, and you can buy pails of fish to feed them. Here is Shayna feeding the tarpon:
