Steve & I went to Key West over the weekend. We have wanted to go since we were married 8 years ago. We have a few friends that gave us advice on where to stay, what to do and places to eat. We had talked ourselves out of going until a couple weeks ago. We wanted to go and I booked it before I could talk myself out of it again. The boys stayed with MiMi & Pappy and didn't even notice that we were gone! I was worried about Buzzy crying for me at night, but he didn't. The morning that we left, he teared up and said he didn't want me to go. I told him that I would be back with presents and toys. His lip quivered a bit and he said "Oh, Okay then." Presents get him everytime! Here are a few of my favorite pictures.
Steve at Smathers Beach. Yes, he has on a sweatshirt and there are people laying out in the sun behind him! It was upper sixties and windy while we were there. We were on scooters, so it got a little chilly!
Outside of Ernest Hemingways house. There were cats everywhere.
Ernest Hemingways house. It was so pretty. I think I'll be moving there soon!
Our breakfast at the Blue Heaven Restaurant. Yes, we ate almost all of it!
When we got out on Saturday morning, we could hear roosters crowing. Steve said it felt just like home! While we waited to get a seat for breakfast, cats and chickens were running everywhere. After we were seated and waiting for our food, a rooster started crowing. It sounds really close and then I noticed him on top of the lean-to in the corner. After a little crowing, he decided to fly down and walk around the tables, pilfering for food.
BEWARE OF EXPLODING BLUEBERRIES!That's what the menu should have said. Steve had little black specs on his shirt under the AJ's symbol. I asked him what they were from and he said he didn't know. In just a second, he figured it out. When he cut into his pancakes, the blueberries were exploding! You can see the juice on the lefthand side of his shirt!
There were some people on Duval Street with cockatoos, iguana, and a python. I just wanted to hold the bird!
The famous Key West sunset.
We could not get close to this thing in the day. We rode our scooters back at night and didn't have a problem!
Our super-speedy scooters. The only way to get around!
A couple that had just gotten engaged took our picture. We took theirs, they took ours! After the left, Steve said "Poor guy!"

what a nice way to escape from the mess here!! Glad you all had a good time! We have been there once and loved it.
Glad you had a good time. We have always wanted to go on vacation by ourselves, but I just cant seem to leave my kids! Maybe when they go off to college, haha. Glad Buzzy and Henry had a good time and you knew they were in good hands.
Just another place to add to my list of places to see.
