June 16, 2009 by Susanne Talentino

Start your 4th of July celebration early this year with fireworks on Thursday July 2nd. The fireworks show is schedule to start after dark.

You can actually turn Thursday into a full-fledged Independence Day extravaganza at the World Golf Village by combining the fireworks show with dinner and a BIG movie. Enjoy an All-American buffet at Fairways café starting at 5:30pm and follow that with a special showing of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” at the IMAX theater. This has to be the absolutely best way to experience this action packed movie which we think is destined to be on of the big movies of the summer.

The Crown Jewels – Royal Exhibit to Amelia Island, Florida

June 7, 2009 by Susanne Talentino

The British royal family has a long history and tradition. Part of the tradition is embodied in the British Crown Jewels. oceaneyes20 nude leaks The Crown Jewels have been kept at the Tower of London since 1303. The Crown Jewels are kept in a part of the Tower known as Jewel House, where armed guards defend them. While the jewels never leave the Tower of London, the only existing sanctioned replicas will be on display at the Amelia Island Museum of History, April 22nd through July 24th. Amelia Island is a suitable place for the exhibit, since the island itself is names after King George II’s daughter Amelia Sophia. In 1733, James Oglethorpe founded the 13th British colony in America naming it Georgia after King George II. Later on he name Amelia Island after George’s daughter. The experts are not sure why. Some believe that Oglethorpe was trying to get support from George II in his endeavor to add Florida to the British colonies, while others think that Amelia Sophia and Oglethorpe might have been romantically involved. Now you can experience a little bit of royal history right here on the coast. The Crown Jewel exhibit continues at Amelia Island Museum of History until July 24th. Admission is free for museum members and $5 for non-members. Amelia Island Museum, 233 South Third Street, Fernandina, Florida 32034

The Sharks are on the move at South Carolina Aquarium

June 5, 2009 by Susanne Talentino

We just received news that two sandbar sharks at the South Carolina Aquarium are moving out. The sharks were probably not unhappy with the accommodations; we suspect the decision came from above. What we found out is that actually the sharks have been donated to Ripley’s Aquarium in Myrtle Beach, so there is nothing fishy going on.

The donation will make it possible for four sandbar sharks to move out in the spotlight to the Great Ocean Tank exhibit. These poor souls are currently residing in the less popular behind-the-scenes holding tanks. Besides it will also give the South Carolina Aquarium the chance to feature hammerhead sharks.

Right now, there is no set date for the addition of hammerhead sharks.
Aquarium staff members are currently looking for hammerheads. The Aquarium is permitted to collect four hammerhead sharks for the Great Ocean Tank.
Currently there are eight sharks in the Aquarium’s Great Ocean Tank exhibit, three sandbar sharks, three sandtiger sharks and two nurse sharks.

“Opportunities to showcase new animals are exciting,” says Senior Dive Safety Officer, Arnold Postell. “We are hopeful to collect hammerhead sharks in the next few weeks. After a quarantine period, the species would then be featured in the Great Ocean Tank.”

The sandbar shark, Charcharhinus plumbeus, is one of the most common species of shark found in South Carolina.

On June 7, 1586, Drake’s 23 ships and 2,000 Englishmen attacked the city with cannons from Anastasia Island. The next day, they stormed through the streets and burned St. Augustine to the ground.

The re-enactment is one of these great events when history comes alive. On Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., visit the 16th century encampment at the Fountain of Youth Park, 11 Magnolia Avenue.
Here you have the opportunity to watch military drills and the re-enactors will also have demonstrations of camp life.

Street Fights in the Old City
In the evening at 7 p.m., the running battle will begin at the Santa Domingo redoubt on Orange Street. The battle will continue to the City Gate and then head south on St. George Street to the Plaza de la Constitucion. Spanish soldiers and St. Augustine townspeople will attempt to stop the English assault. This is a free event, so there is no admission to visit the encampment or watch the authentic re-creation of the sack of St. Augustine.

The event is funded in part by a grant from the St. Johns County Tourist Development Council. For more information on the re-enactment of Drake’s Raid, call 904.829.3168.
