my Florida

 I mentioned in an earlier blog that, while I liked the villages, I really didn't think I would want to live there.  I realized, as we got deeper into our trip that I wanted to be in a part of Florida where I could see water.  I got my wish when we took a couple of days off from visiting family and friends and drove down the Florida Keys.  I had never been there before.  We stayed in Marathon Key for two nights, and spent the day between in Key West.  I loved going over the Seven Mile bridge and seeing water on both sides of us for much of the drive.  It was everything I think Florida should be.  Later in the trip we visited my husband's cousin who lives in a condo on the water on the Gulf side of Florida.  I really liked that too.  Again it's the view of water that excites me.  



Here are our cheeseburgers in paradise, eaten at Margaritaville.  They really were delicious.  I don't usually take pictures of food but i made a exception here.


We also made it to the southernmost tip of the Keys, 90 miles from Cuba.  We did decide, after all that driving, that when we come back to Key West we will fly down.  All in all though, our Florida trip was a great adventure.
