We set the alarm clocks for 6:15 am to watch the sunrise but by the time the wake up call came I was hindered by my back starting to go out. I decided to let Jay and Nina have the experience to add to their memories while I stayed in bed. About 20 minutes later they came back to the room and I asked how it was. Well come to find out that the sun was not going to be up until 7:33 am so they were going to go back to sleep. Once we all finally woke up it was off to find breakfast. We came across the cutest little French café called Banana Café. It was so charming and exactly what you would expect to find on this island. Oh and the crepes were to die for.
We decided to wander down Duval Street and walk off breakfast. We found beautiful art work, hand rolled cigars, the worlds best key lime pie, gift shops and adventure outings. Before our next journey we stopped at this cute little coffee shop for coffee and gelato.
Our next journey was to walk down to the southernmost point. The architecture was just amazing. There was southern charm mixed with French and Caribbean influences. There were chickens walking around everywhere that seemed pretty tame but if you got too close they would puff out their chests and spread their wings so that you would know who was the boss.
We only had a few things left on our quest before the journey home began. We had seen the Atlantic side of the island and now we needed to find the Gulf side of the island. After a two minute car ride there we were.
Our adventure on Key West was now over and it was time to head back to Orlando. As we drove back Jay decided this adventure would not be complete unless he got into both the Atlantic and the Gulf. So we drove until we found turnouts that looked the best. Here was his Atlantic experience.
Here is our Gulf adventure.
Now that our southern Florida adventure was officially complete it was time to take the long journey back to Orlando. This time I actually stayed up for two hours! After falling asleep I was kicked into the back seat for the rest of the trip. I love the back seat it is like riding on a bed. Anyway, we took the turnpike to save us time so we could have some fun in Orlando before it was bed time. Wouldn't you know it an hour away from the hotel there was a bad accident that closed the whole turnpike and we were told it would be about two hours before we could go anywhere. After turning on the GPS and some off-roading action by Jay we made it to another highway and were able to salvage the night. After checking into the hotel Jay and I went to Downtown Disney to have dinner and see what type of festivities they were having in honor of St. Patrick's day. We enjoyed a nice dinner at Planet Hollywood and then took the opportunity to cuddle by this magical fountain to end our night. Yes we made a wish and cross your fingers it comes true.
