#Summer2023: Day 11 - Key West

There is only one road to Key West, and it is 59 miles from our campground on Grassy Key.  The Jolly Roger is on Mile Marker (or MM) 59.  We all piled into Dad's Honda since parking is much friendlier for disabled persons, which Dad is. 

Upon entering Key West we went to the terminal for the Yankee Freedom to Dry Tortuga's to replace Brandon's lost shirt.  I bought Steph and I short sleeve ones while I was at it.

Then, to Ernest Hemingway's house.  

Hemingway's most productive years were I Key West and his house is a cool history lesson.

At one point Hemingway was gifted a 6-toed cat, and the descendents of that feline are everywher!  This was Sadie's favorite thing.


The we were on the hunt for a pizza place Mom remembered from last time.  We never found it because no one could remember the name, but we had a light lunch at Onlywood on Whitehead St (I think?). It was down a neat little alley, but their Italian sausage pizza was wood fired and excellent.  No pics - too busy eating!

Then some casual shopping and seeing of sights.  

For more pics, see my post from our visit 2 years ago and hopefully, a link to a video visit soon.

Before leaving we had a slice of Key Lime pie (mine had coconut) and we even bought a frozen one to bring back.  So good!  I love the fruit down here.

Then back for a light supper of shrimp and various fruits, a dip in the pool (nice and cool) and another sunset on the beach at Jolly Roger.

Jamaica Beach, Day 4

Today started slow, as vacation days should.  No real plans other than a bit of shopping and a nap. Quick breakfast and then helped Brandon....
