Event Planning

Assateague would be cool! I wouldn't be able to go, but it would still be awesome!

(there is a national park area and state park area)
just an idea.

I love assateague! One of my main concerns is that the waves are incredibly strong XP

i would love to have a get together here in my home town
and bring the mermaid craze to sleepy old Bakersfield

In any case, a mermaid camping trip would be fun I think :)

i like this idea

I've got the perfect place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I try to go here almost every summer!
HUGE beautiful pool and a wonderful
nearly waveless/jellyfish-less beach!

I'm in DC now :) Went to the Baltimore National Aquarium again. That place is still awesome and I got some great new ideas to apply to my mermaiding. Also heard that they stopped doing dolphin shows and are opting for a new kind of experience, which is pretty exciting. That aquarium and the one in NY are definitely my top two on the east coast.

^ Lucky! I have begging my dad forever to take me their for the new exibits! Glad to here you enjoyed it :D

Ooh, what kind of show are they replacing the dolphin show with? Did they give any hints??

^ Maybe it's a mermaid show! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! :eyebrows:

You know, I've always wanted to swim in the sting ray tank. That would be the thing.

^ That would be wonderful!

Oh they've already started, but it's sort of like, in the tentative, trying-to-see-how-it-works kind of phase. The dolphins are still there, but it's just that instead of an animal show where they are doing tricks, it's more educational, and getting close/personal with the animals. They share how they train them and how they act in the wild and stuff like that. They were doing something special for the school kids visiting while I was there so I never got to see what it was really like and just got a description of the kinds of stuff they are trying to do when talking to one of the volunteers.

Shame you didn't get to see it. What sort of vibes were you getting from it?

I would soooo do this. Do you have any idea where the event should take place around?

I think they were just being careful and experimental with it. The schoolkids I saw seemed pretty excited, but the particular volunteer I was talking to didn't seem so sure. Like, she was enthusiastic about the change, but I'm not sure if she really approved of the execution. She wasn't the one hosting the program/show though, and was just there to answer questions specifically about the dolphins.

Hey everyone, just wanted to say I'll be in this pod until Augest 19. :)

My family will be at Topsail Beach, NC the first week in August. With luck, I will have a tail by then and might be able to take a dip in the Atlantic. :)

Is this idea still afloat for mermaid swimming I love to meet up.
