Key West Day!

Friday morning we were at the Key West Express dock at 7:30am! The 3 story catamaran took us on the 3.5 hour trip to the Key West Island. We rode on the 2nd story where we were lucky enough to get a table with 3 comfortable chairs on each side right by the window. On the ride there we got to watch a couple movies (UnderDog and Fantastic 4) and we played card games. They had a food bar and a drink bar. I got a little sea sick...

Once we arrived in Key West, we had about 4.5 hours to explore! First we took a 1.5 hour tour of the historic part of the island. The different types of architecture were fascinating. The island has such a diverse history. After the tour, we walked down famous Duval Street and had lunch at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville! We all had a margarita (Dylan's was non-alcoholic of course!). After lunch we walked some more and then visited the Pirate Museum. Dylan loved this! Next we walked down the harbor until it was time to board the boat again.

We were warned that the ride back would be rougher so I took motion sickness medicine. We stayed on the 1st floor this time and were able to get a half moon shaped booth with a table by the window. We saw a gorgeous sunset as we left port. I slept some of the trip back (that's the reason I didn't take the medicine on the trip there) while Chris and Dylan watched the new Harry Potter movie.

We got back to FMB around 9:30pm. Boy were we tired!
