Birthday in the Keys! Doesn't get much better than that. The weather was perfect and Frank had a checklist of "Keys Things" he wanted to do.
Birthday Morning!
Bob and Frank - coordinating outfits NOT planned.
One of the many FSU birthday presents from Toby and Bob. (A big deal because they are UM fans.)
From there we headed south for a little shopping at
WorldWide Sportsman and
Florida Keys Outfitters (at the
Green Turtle Inn).
It was during our time at FKO that we received a call from our friends Barbara and Don. They were scheduled to arrive that afternoon, but due to Don not feeling well and Barbara having a toothache, they decided to stay in Miami. (Needless to say, we all were very disappointed. This trip had been planned for a long time and we were looking forward to everyone getting together. Plus, it was going to be a good test of whether we could all live together for a few days as we've talked about doing a group trip to Europe.) But we were not going to let that dampen our trip and fun!
A few years ago, the
Cheeca Lodge (a long-time icon in the Keys) suffered significant fire damage. It recently re-opened so we thought it would be a good place for a cold beverage and snack.
Frank's birthday-day celebration in the Keys would not be complete without a beautiful sunset. Based on his past experience in the Keys, THE place (without going all the way to Key West) to watch the sunset is at the
Lorelei Cabana Bar/Beach.
Another "Nauti" vessel
What a great day for celebrating a birthday! Happy Birthday, Frank!
