Vacations come and go so quickly. Today was a return to reality and a mountain of work on my desk. I would catch myself in daydream thinking back to where we were and what we were doing one week ago. The temps were in the mid 80's with a gently blowing breeze as we strolled along the streets of Key West FL. The liberation of being on vacation lightened our mood and all thoughts of work and responsibilities back home quickly disappeared.
Doughboy and I walked along historic Duval Street stopping to window shop or catch a cool drink. We sipped on a margarita at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville and another at Hog's Breath Saloon. {sigh} We even hopped aboard the Conch Train as it wound around through narrow streets and historic neighborhoods for more than an hour. It was the perfect day...and a perfect beginning to our week-long cruise.
P.S. To all my bloggy friends, I have not forgotten you. I will visit soon...after I finish unpacking and getting through my mountain of laundry. Thanks for being patient with me...

Key West is one of my family's favorite places....ya'll had great weather!
Did you make friends with snakes? Snakes give me the .... ewww..I can't even think about them.
The moon picture is so neat. Looks like you had wonderful weather. Welcome back to the cold. :( See you Sunday?
Sigh...I can't believe I missed out on all of the fun. I'm soooo on board for the next one though. I'm sure Jason won't mind that I leave him behind with our 3 kids:)
Take your time. Settle back into the routine. And thanks for posting these! I feel warmer already.
For those that keep are interested, Key West was a blast (having something to do with the booze companionship I suspect. Grand Caymen is nothing but a big sandbar with 500 banks, a few stingrays, and a rum cake factory. Ho hum. Jamaica has phenomenal natural beauty that is totally overpowered by obnoxious street vendors and aggressive beggers. Every island has T-shirts, sun, and turquoise blue water sand but most can contain their treatment of tourists to civility. Jamaica apparently cannot. My advice, skip Jamaica til they grow up.
I was really enjoying the blog until I got to the snake picture. I'll have nightmares for days! So glad you had a great time!
