We visited Key West for our anniversary in 2007. I could really use these warm and sunny memories right now, reposted from my old personal site. We flew to Miami, arriving at 9 PM and spent the night. The next morning we drove through the keys and had just one night in Key West. It was a wonderful getaway, but I remember being stressed about the time and the potential thunderstorms. When we left, though, we were relaxed despite the quick trip.
Anniversary Trip:
-fish, fish, fish: fried, grilled, blackened
-more fried fish: conch fritters!
-Key Lime Pie with a happy face painted in whipped cream
-relaxing walks with beachy destinations
-reading my book in the warm pool
-long drive, too simple to get lost; beautiful turquoise waves surrounding us; enjoying the ride for what it is
-my skin thawed out thanks to the sunshine
-getting my head in the right place
-dilapidated buildings, windworn bricks and sea-washed wood-bridges and fishers off bridges
-roosters & their combs
-white shutters on pastel cottage windows
-sleepy and happy-being married 5 years to someone who only wants you to be happy and full
