...And The Sunset

From our dining room view!!

Dinner and a Sunset

The hotel has a couple of dining choices. We ate at the Hot Tin Roof.  It is on the second level so it was right down the hall from our room number 228. 

We dined outside so we could see the famous Key West sunset...too bad it was cloudy. 

We ate small plates of Chiorizo, bruschett, and a charcuterie. Loved it all!!

Oh...and Key Lime Pie!!!

Checked Inn

We checked in at the Ocean Key Resort. It is spectacular!   Right on the very tip of Key West and right on Mallory Square. 

A Little History

We took a tour of Ernest Hemmingway's house. 

Afternoon Delights

Lots to see....

A tall Key Lime Pie Shooter! 

Sloppy Joe's is where Ernest Hemingway hung out.  

First Stop in Key West

Lunch!

Lobster Mac and cheese. 

And a Cuban sandwich!

Last stop on Our Adventure

A Day without Plans

It was a very busy day. We can't thank Kathy enough all the driving. It was hard to say good-bye. 

Going On a Deer Hunt

We headed south to Big Pine Key. They have small deer that roam the key. We had success spotting those cuties. 

While on the Key we found a place called No Name Bar. We had pizza and a No Name Amber Ale. It was a very cool place. The walls and ceilings were covered in dollar bills. 

This is the ceiling above our table. 

A Beer Anyone?!

We headed to Islamorada to check out a couple of breweries. Florida Keys Brewing Co was our favorite. 

But Islmorada Brewery wasn't bad. 

Turtles On The Half Shell

Stop 2 was the world famous Turtle Hospital 

Kathy Drives On

We went from no plans to seeing how much we could jam into one day with Kathy behind the wheel.  

First stop Bahia Honda State Park. 

Last Day In Marathon

We started the day with no real plan other than having breakfast with Kathy and J at the Stuffed Pig...one of their favorite places...and now we know why!!

A Tradition

A friend from home who has come to the Keys for years last year said we had to have the lobster Reuben. Loved it. It was a must have this year. It is my favorite meal in the keys....so far. 

Day Of The Dolphin

Today we spent the entire day at The Dolphin Research Center.  We didn't miss a thing!
