Key West Trip - Day Four
We started the day with breakfast at Blue Heaven - the one place you can't miss if you go to Key West. Adam and Jarret rented bikes so they could see more of the island. Cary and Andrea opted to sleep in instead.
We have no idea how this happened, but somehow Janis managed to get blueberries on her forehead and chest at the same time:
That confused look on her face is because Adam, Jarret, and I all looked at her at the same time and burst out laughing. She had no idea what we were laughing at until I took the picture and showed it to her.
After breakfast, Adam and Jarret went off for more exploring of the island while Janis and I wandered around and did a little more shopping. We then headed back to our hotel and took a dip in the pool. Cary and Andrea went to the beach and then joined us at the pool, as did Adam and Jarret. Adam bought some Mojitos for everyone. A very relaxing time.
We decided to do sunset on one of Key West's many sunset cruise boats. The boat had a live band and bottomless beer, margaritas wine, and champagne - along with plenty of appetizers. We all agreed there is no better way to see the sunset in Key West:
Cary looked right at home with his new hat (and his "My Name Is Earl" pose):
As you can see, everyone had a great time:
While you might think that the sunset would be the highlight of the trip, on this particular cruise, it wasn't. As we were coming back into port this sixty-something year old man hauls off and belts this big guy wearing an LSU T-shirt, knocking one of his teeth out. Apparently one of them had gotten in the way of the other earlier and the LSU guy spent the rest of the evening taunting the sixty-something guy until he had had enough. We had to wait in the harbor until the police and an ambulance arrived. Sunset and a floor show!
The only other thing I found interesting on the cruise was this guy's foot:
I found it interesting because judging from the tan lines, he only owns one pair of shoes.
After getting off the cruise, we headed back down Duval street and happened upon Key West's smallest bar:
As a joke, they keep a hula hoop on the wall:
As we ambled down Duval street, Andrea and Janis did a bit more shopping and headed back to the hotel, while I proceeded to beat the boys at pinball at one of the local watering holes.
Key West Trip - Day Five
We stopped for the night in Deltona, Fl and visited with my cousin Charlene. Janis met Charlene for the first time last year when we were in Florida. This was the first time Charlene and her kids got to meet my entire family.
Charlene had quite a spread put out for us with pizza and some of the best fried chicken I have ever eaten.
Key West Trip - Day Six
Our final bit of driving involved one last stop in Orange Beach, AL where we had dinner at Café Grazie, an excellent Italian restaurant where Adam's former girlfriend Megan works. From there we drove the final 3 hours back to New Orleans where we were greeted with one of New Orleans' famous torrential downpours.
What a great vacation! You can see more pictures in my web gallery.
