Group shot at the sourthernmost point.Hello there! So today was another relaxing day for everyone. Todd, Max, and Grandpa woke up early to do a little fishing around the canal. They didn't catch anything worth keeping. By the time I woke up they were already home! The first part of the day consisted of lounging by the pool--what's new?! After a late breakfast, we all decided to drive to Key West and do the whole tourist thing.
It took about an hour to get to Key West, but it was well worth it. We took a drive around the island and saw the southernmost point in the continental US, Ernest Hemingway's house, and the Key West lighthouse. Eventually we boarded the Conch Train, a historic tour service that basically gives an hour and a half tour of the entire city. It was super hot out, but we sure did learn a lot. Key West has some of the most beautiful historic houses in the whole country. I could just sit and daydream about what it would be like to live in such a crazy place. It also has a huge Cuban influence, seeing as it only likes 90 miles north of Havana, Cuba!

On the way to Key West! ate dinner at the Rum Barrel and thought about going on a ghost tour, but decided we were all exhausted from the day and just drove home.
So yes, today was an alright day. Tomorrow we will probably start with another fishing excursion. Love you all.
