The Week In Pictures

For those of you (Lindsy!) who have been anxiously checking my blog for Key West updates, only to be disappointed...I apologize! I didn't really pick the computer back up. But, as promised, here are some pics from the rest of our vacay. Some of the pictures speak for themselves, others you will question. I will explain but not publicly! We had a blast and finally made it home safe and sound (no thanks to Delta Airlines and Atlanta weather...)

Without further ado:

View from our balconyKey Lime Pie Varieties (Strawberry and Mango/Passion Fruit) YUM.
Smathers Beach (and, yes, that is a man in nothing but a loin cloth)

Mallory Square Sunset Celebration

A ginormous sea sponge--Josh was ultra-grossed out! Art- Key West style (it was weird, but cool!) In case you didn't notice, the statue in the top pic is painting the naked statues...and the person laying down under the naked statues, is a statue as well! (not a real person, even though I thought so at first!)

Pool Gazebo-- Josh was in heaven!
Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory (I could have posted all 200 pics that I took, but I will spare you...if you have time I will show you. This was AMAZING!)
Yes, this is us at the southernmost point in the continental USA (in case you don't read the buoy)
We didn't care anything about paying to go into Hemingway's house, but here it is...and I am looking for his famous 6-toe cats!! He has about 60 of them!
Hemingway cats--not sure if they had 6 toes or not! Didn't get that close--someone told us they were "ferocious"
Pretty homes

Dinner at B.O.'s Fish Wagon...amazing shrimp sandwich!

Sunset Sailboat Cruise (booze-cruise)...the Apple Dore tall ship.
This is the beginning of a V-E-R-Y interesting night.
The captain actually let me drive the vessel...after 3 sangria's and some chardonnay! "Tonight We Drink...Tomorrow We Sail!" -captain
After the sail, the night became even more interesting...ask for the story (depending on who you are I will tell you!)
We went to a bar that had an amazing magician...check out the card in Josh's beer!
to sum the night up:

Delicious Cuban food---WOW! Courtesy of "The Pirate"
Atop the tallest building in Key West
Our final Sunset Celebration...and it was beautiful!
We had so much fun and cannot wait for our next vacation! Despite the stress that we had trying to get this trip together and the drama at the airport (both going and coming home!) I realized that there isn't anyone else in this world who I would want to travel the world with. BUT we are always willing to have company...so if anyone wants to vacation with us someday, holla! Until next time...

  1. I am soooo jealous and in need of a vacation- your pics look like you had so much fun!

    Count us in for the next one! Norah will have two sets of grandparents who would LOVE to watch her ;0)

    Oh, and do send that chimichanga recipe my way. I made crab, spinach and ricotta manacotti last night. Tonight will be pot roast...I told Brad we'll be eating better when Norah's here than we usually eat any other night!!
