Question

Last week my family and I visited a beach along the Gulf of Mexico in southwest Florida. The water gleamed like aquamarine gemstones. After relaxing on the beach all morning, we visited an aquarium in the afternoon. I was bedazzled by the sociable manatees swimming toward us in their tanks filled with turquoise water. This was a day to remember, and it will always be crystallized in my memory.
