In the middle of our week in Florida, we took a break from Disney to visit the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. This has been Hannah's dream for the past year since she first saw the movie "Dolphin Tale." For those who haven't seen it, this movie tells the true story of a baby dolphin, "Winter", rescued by the CMA after being caught in a crab trap. Winter lost her tail as a result of injury from the trap, but ended up being fitted with a prosthetic tail which has allowed her to swim normally. Hannah's dream has been to see Winter in person - What a joy to watch her live out her 7 year old dream!
