vay cay~ final report

Did you guess Key West?

We flew into Ft. Lauderdale, spent one night, then drove down all the Keys to Key West.

We stayed one night at this B&B.

It was ok.  The room was small but clean, so that was fine.  The breakfast was blech.  Think packaged, mass produced, staleish danish and muffins.

Add a mealy apple and a dry orange.

So we left the B&B and headed here.

It was heavenly.

We jet skied around the whole island.

Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean and back to the Gulf.

Super fun.

We snorkeled at 2 different coral reefs.

(You can't tell by this blurry picture, but that's Stick.)

I actually got in the ocean water.

We took cheesy pictures.

We sat on the beach and watched the sun go down.

There are roosters all over the island.

I even saw one strutting around inside a store.

We saw lots of neat old houses with unusual trees.

(These houses were on another of the Keys, not Key West.)

After leaving Key West we drove back up to Ft. Lauderdale and stopped at the Everglades on the way.

We saw lots of alligators.

They totally creeped me out.

Seriously, I wanted to leave after about 5 minutes.

Especially when this one left the water and climbed onto the walkway.

It was the best trip ever.

And now we are home and back to normal life.

So normal in fact, that yesterday I went to the dentist and half my face was still numb hours later.

Plus, I got into a fender bender on the way to the dentist.

24 years of driving and my first accident.

It was totally my fault.

I blame it on vacation delirium.

Wow, those trees are incredible! Crazy stuff! All that stuff looks awesome. Freaky alligators. I'd be running for the hills if that thing even turned one foot in my direction.
Glad you had fun!
