Turtles!


We strolled through the Miami Bayside Market downtown and found tons of tiny slider turtles for sale. John has always wanted a pet turtle and we were so tempted to buy one or two or six....but imagining ourselves carrying them in a tank on the plane made us think twice. I don't think the other passengers would've appreciated that. I'm sure that the kids would've loved them, but I also discovered that turtles carry salmonella so it's not the cleanest pet around. I had a brief image in my head with some turbulence, turtle juice down my shirt and baby turtles wandering around people's feet. Not good.
