After we finally got up this morning we headed out to find some breakfast. We found a local place called the Wooden Spoon. The food was great and the price was better. Then it was on for the 2.5 hour drive to Key West. You gotta love two lane roads with limited passing zones! Although it was kind of cool to drive through all the islands and see the view from all of the bridges.

We got there just in time for lunch. We drove down to mile marker 0 and found the southern most point of the continental US. This led us to seeing the Southernmost Hotel, the Southernmost Southernmost Hotel, the Southernmost Gift Shop, and so on. We got some cute pictures of us and Zack that I'll post soon (maybe not until we are back home). The ocean and views are gorgeous but I put my hand in the water and it was quite chilly.

After this, we made our way to Margaritaville. As this was the main point of the trip to Key West, we enjoyed the food and drinks. No one makes a better margarita, although the ones that you get at Cheeseburger in Paradise are much larger! One more stop down on our quest.

Zack did nothing but eat the entire day! We could not fill that child up. We kept joking that he was stretching his stomach so he could eat all the free food on the cruise ship. We saw the chickens and roosters walking around downtown and he thought that was great. I think that the highlight of the day for Zack was chasing the pigeons around the square and making them fly. He was so funny. He would say "see birdies" and then would go after them to try and catch them. He had the best time with Mark when Mark picked him up and they chased after the birds. He loved getting close enough to them to make them fly away.

We walked around and did a little shopping after lunch. It was fun. We stopped and got some Key Lime Pie on a stick. It didn't taste that good to me so I'll have to try a real piece of Key Lime Pie before we leave. We had such a gorgeous day today. It was warm enough that we could walk around in capris and flip flops. We went back to the water front (after a second trip to Margaritaville) to watch the sunset but by then there were a lot of clouds in the sky. While we were waiting we watched several street performers in the square. Some of them were pretty entertaining and one pulled Steve in to help out. I have that on video and Mark took pictures. Zack recognized the square that we were at and had more interest in chasing the birds around than watching the street performers juggle fire. All he kept asking for was to chase the birdies and make them fly. He also enjoyed watching all the boats going on the ocean and the airplanes flying low overhead as they landed and took off.

All in all we had a great day in Key West. They are saying it is going to be colder and rainy tomorrow. We are all hoping that the weathermen are wrong like usual.
