“Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.” – Oscar Wilde

I don’t know if it is the same for everyone else as it is for me, but it has been hot lately. I was loading things into the truck, and I was sweating to death. I knew it was going to be hot soon, but I wasn’t ready for this much heat yet. It was inevitable; it is June, but I was hoping for just a few more cool days. Thankfully, I have plenty of water and air conditioning to keep me cool. The best I can do is reflect on the days it was cool outside.

Last winter break, my family and I took a trip to Orlando, Florida. We spent our first day hanging out at Discovery Cove. Discovery Cove is a nature resort where you can spend the day with dolphins, flamingos, stingrays, and other amazing wildlife. The package deal with them also included a day pass to SeaWorld. We took advantage and spent our next day there. The park was crowded, but we got to see a lot of amazing wildlife. One of my favorite parts of the park was the penguin exhibit. We were pretty close to them, and we got a taste of what their environment is like. It was freezing at the exhibit. My son and I stayed because everyone else said it was too cold. We were the only ones who stayed for any amount of time. Today if we went, I am sure we would stay longer inside the penguin exhibit because of the heat.
