In our family, we are all animal lovers. Right now, my son is home. Fr. Josh is a Catholic priest, currently with the Military Archdiocese, in the Air Force, as a chaplain. There is a week-long retreat in Tampa. The past two years, we met my family to spend a week-end together in Tampa, after his retreat.. While we have visited Lowry Park Zoo, (now Zoo Tampa) we didn’t this time. Instead, we like to watch any animals we happen to see—even roosters out for a stroll! Okay, when we visit family in Ocala, I do want to see the monkeys at Silver Spring Park. (BTW, the glass bottom boat usually has an expert scientist on board.) Here is an article about the monkeys. Sorry, the egrets and herons just aren’t as fun as watching monkeys.
Yes, my family is scattered like shrapnel. We’re off to visit more family in a tiny town, Rock Hall, Md. Near Rock Hall, is the Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge. Here are some of the species. Look for the osprey nests in tall platforms. The Lawrence Wetlands Preserve is in Chestertown, Md. We can go for a walk and see shore birds. Rock Hall is located right along the Chesapeake Bay. Like your family, travel often means visiting relatives. Take a walk! Hike a trail! Science doesn’t have to be all tech or STEM. What are the plants and wildlife like in the area you’re visiting?
