Elizabeth and I met up in Key West for a girls weekend at the end of September. Elizabeth was a co-worker at ExxonMobil and a roommate before I married Steve. We have known each other for 10+ years and even though she moved from Houston many years ago, we still keep in touch and visit! In lieu of another trip to Houston or Atlanta, we opted for somewhere new! Key West was the perfect place! Beautiful water, pedestrian friendly, low key, and lots of good food & drinks!

| On Saturday we rented bicycles and literally rode around the entire island which is approximately 2 miles by 4 miles. It was fun and we stopped at the Southernmost Point in the continental USA. It is only 90 miles to Cuba from here. |

| Sunsets were gorgeous from out hotel. There was a nightly "sunset party" at our hotel which we happily joined for a nice glass of wine! |

| Out for drinks at Caroline's after dinner on Saturday! |
On Saturday we had lunch at Turtle Kraals and dinner at A&B Lobster House. Dinner was AMAZING! We had drinks at Caroline's Cafe after dinner on Duval Street. (Duval Street is the party street with all the bars and lots of restaurants that runs through Old Town in Key West.) Sunday we had lunch at Schooner Wharf and dinner at Seven Fish which was excellent too!
On Sunday we did an
All-In-One EcoTour where we rode out in a small catamaran, kayaked around a mangrove island, and snorkeled. It was fabulous and great to learn more about the area!
I had a fabulous time both relaxing and spending time with Elizabeth! We decided to make this an annual tradition so we are already thinking about a destination for next year.....any suggestions?
Fun! Was Elizabeth cold or just wanted to keep the sun off of her?
