Key West is Best


Yesss! Vacation is underway and Elliot is victorious and raising her mommy's beer to cheer.



Elliot aka The Donald sporting a 5 O'clock shadow of sweet potatoes.



Elliot chillin in the guest room with a view.



Cruise ships are big! Not that we were on one, but we saw a different one in port every day.



At the Secret Garden we learned that when Elliot eats soil, she is eating 5 billion microorganisms. Yum!



Ernest Hemingway has a lot of kitties roaming around his house. Elliot's 2nd word was Kitty. It sounds a lot like a hissing noise with a hard c. In the Hemingway house people can't touch a thing, but the kitties are allowed everywhere.




Turtle Kraals for dinner at the Harbor. FYI, if the turtle races at the bar start at 6PM. Don't show up at 6:04 like we did, or you will miss the whole thing and be forced to drink your key lime margarita without a turtle race to watch. Poor us.




Elliot has taken a liking to eating out everywhere and is a great sport about it. We could have a whole separate post of her in various high chairs throughout the Keys. Here she is at Kelly's Carribean (owned by Kelly McGillis, but seems like a front for other illegal activity). This girl ate more fish (mahi mahi and grouper) on this vacation than we should admit.



The butterfly conservatory was very cool.



At the Custom House Musuem downtown there was a special exhibit of impressionist art recreated in 3-D life size sculpture that we were encouraged to touch/climb on. Recognize any of these paintings? Look closely at the group dinner, Elliot is a guest!




Ahhh, the beach!



Chickens all over the island and especially in the Chicken Store. Elliot loved it. We were a little icked out.


The Beach again!


And finally, clowning around the pool with Dad.
