So here we are after a long day yesterday of traveling. At 8am we took a train to a bus to a plane, to another plane to a taxi...and finally at 6pm we arrived. We dropped our bags and headed out to Margaritaville for some Conch fritters and...margaritas! So yummy, and boy were we hungry! Today John is exhausted to say the least. He's been working on average 65 hours a week since just after our honeymoon - 1 year ago. We've come full circle today, back where we started on our 1 year anniversary. He's past out in our adorable French Caribbean style room with the AC blasted. I'm planning on letting him sleep the year off as long as he can. We have all week to celebrate our anniversary. Sitting in this beautiful shaded secret-garden courtyard, the warm air penetrates down to my bones and the smell of chlorine infiltrates my nose. There is only a slight breeze here once in a while making the palms wave hello.
When John does awake, we'll make plans to visit one of the National Historic sites we didn't get cancellation stamps at last year. Having been to Hemingway's home many times before, I just don't know how I didn't realize that it's on the National Historic Register. We'll also be taking a tour of Fort Zachary Taylor, a civil war era fort on the southern tip of Key West. The fort has been used by both the US Army and Navy and
used to have a submarine base. Lastly, we also plan on taking a tour of the US Coast Guard Cutter Ingham which is also a maritime museum.
This time around, I think our outlook on this trip is to see a specific set of places that we didn't have time for last year. We also want to just relax! Our B&B has happy hour included every night around the pool - our plan is to schedule our day around it! We just had a fantastic breakfast as well. We really love this place! If only I could convince John to move down here :)
