I remember exactly where and when I bought this pin. I was on a family vacation in Orlando in 1994 (Holy cow, that was 20 years ago!). We went to Sea World and while enjoying our day at the park, a typical Florida thunderstorm struck. We all rushed for cover inside of a gift shop. There were a lot of other people who had the same idea as the gift shop was excessively crowded. Since we were essentially stuck in the store, we all did some shopping. I found this pin and fell in love. I was in a stage of my life where I wanted to be a dolphin trainer, so this was perfect. Plus, the color was awesome. To this day I still really love this pin. So I guess it's a good thing that the storm stranded us in the store, or I may never have found it. And after about an hour of waiting for the storm to end, we decided to just buy some ponchos and call it a day. This was the beginning of the poncho adventures that my family had. If you want more details about that, please send me a message and I would be happy to share.
