We spent the last couple of days driving around and checking out the area for future trips. The weather has been a little cold so spending much time on the beach has been limited. It’s also been pretty windy too and I really hate for my hair to get messed up. The two cities thatContinue reading “Checking Out The Area”

Yesterday we put some more miles on Silver checking out locations for our 2023 Florida return engagement. We’ve had a great time this year in each of the places we’ve stayed but some we’ve put in the rear view mirror, others we plan to return to. High on the list after a quick trip andContinue reading “Day Trip”

We’ve learned to be careful when walking around because the cold has really screwed up the iguanas, they are actually fallingContinue reading “Fun In Key West”

We left a cold Marco Island and made the drive to The Keys where we found…a cold…Key West. Someone must have alerted the weather gods of our arrival though, the rest of the week will be beautiful and warm. Last night we sat at Irish Kevin’s to watch both playoff games and had a greatContinue reading “Drive To The Keys”

Too cold and windy to spend time outside, so we took pictures of… Leaving for Key West in the morning, adios cold weather.

After spending a couple of days exploring the city we were able to track down where the locals hang out. Turns out you just need to find the boats and doublewides and the best watering holes and restaurants are very close. Best snacks and seafood at Lee Be Fish Company, fried shrimp was outstanding.
