HI Key West
Disney was great fun, and I can’t wait to go again…..whenever that is, but there were more adventures ahead. So, after that we went to…um…I think a hotel, a couple campsites. Just for a night each. Then we drove down down down to KEY WEST!
We met Gagee (Dad's mom) and Mr. Lee on the way down. Kik and I drove in their car, with the sun roof open and all the windows rolled down. We were cruisin’! We got down to Key West and parked the RV in front of our cool condo and loaded in almost everything we own. They were SO nice and now I can’t wait to get a house again! 3 bedrooms (including master) 1 1/2 bathrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, an awesome princess phone and a screened in patio! It was SO cool!
So we hung out, called each other on the phone and then went to dinner. The Military was donating free fish as long as you bring a side dish with you. It was really quite good (especially the dessert! Sugar cookies, cake, brownies). It was nice. So we went to bed Toley and I shared one room (and bed) and Z-man and Kik shared the other room (and bed). I must say, I have a very hard time sleeping with other people. Even if it is my sister. For instance some people, who shall be nameless, kick and turn and pull the covers right off you. Ahem, I’m not mentioning any names.
ANYWAYS I always get off track. The next day we packed lunch and drove the RV down to the beach. Fortunately we were the only people there (on that side of the beach) so we could act like maniac’s the whole time, and no one knew who we were. Z-man and I were the brave ones and went in 1st. It was really pretty when you looked AT it, but when you looked IN it...... well…you couldn’t see ZIP. But it was really fun.
Eventually even mommy came in for a while! Later, Mommy and daddy went to rent some snorkels but the lady at the counter said that there were huge jelly's in the water and they wouldn't suggest snorkeling. So they got a paper with all sorts of fun boating things to do. We decided to go sailing the next day. The trip included meals, snorkeling, kayaking and sailing. We were excited after a long afternoon at the beach.
But when we got home we found out that all of us (except Kik) had sunburn. Mommy and I had it all over. Z-man and Daddy had it bad on their backs and Toley had it bad on her arms. I had it bad on my lower back and mommy had it bad…well everywhere! What’s worse we were watching American Idol and my throat started to hurt. Turns out the next day I had a cold. Oy veh. But I didn’t really notice it on the boat.
The sailing was so much fun. We went on a boat with like…20 people. The captain and the two ladies’s that served and talked to you were all very funny and nice. Well we…snorkeled, kayaked and sailed! They served us lunch and tons of snacks before and after. You probably want to hear more. ...........

Well we sailed around for a while. Then we stopped at a really shallow area. It was like a sea garden or something. Lots of fish, sponges, Sting rays, a barracuda!and conch shells. They gave us snorkels, wet suits, flippers. It was really neat. It was so cool swimming next to those sting rays, and all the fish! It was really awesome. Even Kik got the hang of it after a while.
After that we sailed, ate some lunch and talked. Then we split up into two groups and went kayaking around. Our leader (Ms. Michelle) showed us around a little island and talked about all the cool plants and animals. It’s really fascinating how much they know! Then we headed back, Daddy and the kids all jumped in the water to cool off while mom took pictures. It was a beautiful day We were sad to go, but on the way back we saw a fish jump straight into the air chasing something! It must’ve gone like…psh...4 ft into the air! It was so cool, and to finish off a good day Kik got to steer the ship AND we saw some dolphins. Which, according to Ms. Wendy, can make even a grown man jump up and down and scream “DOLPHIN!!!!” We left the dock at about 10:00am and got back at about 4. It was a long time but it didn’t seem like it.

The next few days were spent just hangin’ out. One day Toley, Z and I went to the mini-mart to buy some “ounce cream” as I call it. Well turns out they were closed so we headed back to Gagee's (AKA Grog) condo (right next door) where we heard a rumor that SHE had some. So (before they had any dinner) we had a bowl of Moose track ice cream with some extra M&M’s, Junior mints and Peppermint paddy’s! We talked about how we could make a secret passage way to the fridge where the bon bon’s were with a little lock that only we knew the code. So we came, talked, ate, laughed and left. Sigh, I love going to Grog’s! Well they left the next day and we left the day after that. We spent our last day doing school, cleaning and loading the RV. Sounds boring, but it was fun and we all needed to stay out of the sun for a day.
