Key West, Florida

We left Monday 3/8 for a trip to the Florida Key's. We were waiting for some nice weather to take the trip, boy did we get the good weather; high 60s at night, high 70's during the days.

We stayed on Islamorada at the Pelican Cove Resort. It was a very nice place right on the ocean. The view from our room was beautiful. We had an ocean front room on the first floor over looking the pool, hot tub and beach area. One of the pics is off our balcony. There was a sand bar about a mile out in the water and a party every day out there.

About a mile down the road was a huge lobster sculpture. Denise seen it on the way by and wanted to go see it. As you can see she got her way. (I think she saw the junk shops behind it. She don't even like lobster so why would she want her pic with one. I know it was the junk shops behind it; she can't fool me.) Well, to make believe it was the lobster she wanted to see, she had me take a picture of her with it. (I didn't fall for it though, I wasn't born yesterday ya know.)

On Tuesday we went to Key West, Florida and did some site seeing. Went to the southernmost point of the continental U.S.A.. Took a pic of the buoy. There was a line waiting to stand by it for a pic so we just took a pic without us in it. (Would have waited but, Denise had to PEE real bad and I didn't want to see her PEE her pants.) Then we went to Duval St. and looked around. That is mostly junk shops and bars. Tourist traps for sure. We saw Hemmingway's house and Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville.

The streets are very narrow and was fun taking a dually truck down them. It was more fun finding a place to park it. We finally parked on the street with the inside set of wheels up on the side walk. It fit that way. It didn't take long for me to get tired of the crowd and want to go. So we started our trip back to the hotel.

The drive down and back was better than Key West. Breath taking views. The water is so blue it's hard to believe. Denise seen a dolphin surface and was impressed with the homes she could see.

It was a nice trip but, if I went to the Keys again it would be in the area of Islamorada to Marathon Island. To me that is the best part of the Keys. Not as much tourist trap and very beautiful.

OOh yea almost forgot about Denise's big thrill. We stopped at one of the beaches along the way and went for a walk. A ways down the beach we came upon a secluded spot on the beach. Looked up and there it was; the skimpiest G-string we have ever seen. I would have loved it if it was on a female but, it was an older guy standing there with it on. Denise turned red faced and giggled a lot. After we went by she was trying to sneak a peek of the front with out being to conspicuous. I didn't think I was ever going to get her off that beach but I did. Sorry I didn't get a pic for ya'll but when we went back by he held his mug over his but. What a kill joy.
