Finally I am posting about my trip to the Keys. We had a lot of fun but honestly I would not go for 4 or 5 days. I think a long weekend in Key West would be fun. Luckily we were with great friends, otherwise it might not have been as fun.

| Ang and I are very excited to get our vacations started! |
 |
| Cute! |
 |
| Ricky and Ang! |
 |
| We stopped along the way at Islamorada to enjoy the best Margarita ever made! |
 |
| We got our "southernmost point" pic. =) |
 |
| Margaritaville. The margaritas came close to the ones we had in Islamorda. |
 |
| Pizza joint. |
 |
| LT is so sweet. Incase you can't read it... "May the sunrise greet our love and may it never see a sunset." =) |
 |
| I'm using a scary staple gun to secure our $1 to the wall. |
 |
| Buddy! We met this cute guy right before going snorkeling. |
 |
| Sporting a neon yellow life jacket. |
 |
| Ricky and Ang thoroughly enjoyed the snorkeling. I think they were the last on the boat. LOL! |
 |
| My sexy man! |

| Beautiful Sunset at Mallory Square |
 |
| Hemingway House -the first swimming pool in Key West and the only pool within 100 miles in the late 30's. Pauline Hemingway (2nd of 4 wives) spent $20,000 (the house only cost $8000) to have the deep well-fed pool built for her husband, while he was away as a Spanish Civil War correspondent in 1938. When Hemingway returned, he was reportedly unpleasantly surprised by the cost, and exclaimed: "Well, you might as well have my last cent." ... |

| ...This penny is embedded in concrete today near the pool. |
 |
| Our good friends, Jen and Brian were on a cruise that stopped at Key West so we got to hang out with them for a little while. |

| Sunset at our resort. |

| We had a great time. It was awesome spending time together. I love you baby! |
I loved being on vacation and relaxing. Luckily I was with super supportive people because eating was not easy. We spend a great deal of time looking at menus and trying to find places that I could eat. It's amazing how many places do not have anything vegan. Not even salads. Nothing was delish enough to take pics but I ate plenty of salads, wraps and french fries. My favorite places were Margaritaville and Willy T's which both had vegan burgers. Made ordering so much easier. Not the healthiest but I was happy with easy.
So I've been home for 5 days and it feels like it's been weeks. Vacation can be really spoiling. Sleeping in, drinking coffee in bed, having a casual morning, naps in the afternoons, hanging out with great friends, laying poolside, yummy cocktails.... I could get used to it very quickly. I think LT agrees because he is sitting next to me on his laptop searching for cheap airfares. LOL!
Well that is all I have for today. Good night!
It was a wonderful trip...mainly because of spending it with you guys. And you summed up the trip well. With every detail you give, I'm sitting here agreeing with you. I doubt we'll ever find margaritas like Clark's again. We may have to start making our own. Regarding the food - even Ricky said he was SO sick of fish shacks. Now that's saying something. We need more variety!
ReplyDeleteIf we all ever go on a trip again in August, how about we go somewhere cooler, not hotter?! Duh! I'm thinking Canada, Seattle, wine country in Oregon?
Oh, that sunset pic is awesome! I agree, we've been back from a work trip for 2 wks now, but the mere fact were weren't at our house is spoiling :D
ReplyDeleteHow is that neon yellow looks good on you? :D
So glad you had a great time. God Bless.
