Key West… Day 2

Not going to lie we had a late start on Day 2. We were both so exhausted from driving we didn’t wake up until 12… and then we didn’t actually get ready and leave the comfort of the cottage until 3PM. Luckily there’s a Denny’s just a stones throw away that serves breakfast 24/7. But then when we did finally leave the cottage we took to the streets….

And played Pokemon Go.

^^^ The evidence. I told him he would look back on these pictures and be like oh, when did we see that thing? And I’d respond with, you were too busy catching a Cloyster.

But in truth we really did go out to kind of explore our surrounding areas. We walked down to the beach, because it’s in walking distance. We had dinner ON the beach, which was pretty awesome. Not cheap. But definitely awesome, I had Lobster Tail for the first time. We kind of just walked around.

Key West… Day 1

Key West is a much longer road trip than I anticipated. I mean, I knew it would be a long drive. But I guess it didn’t exactly click exactly HOW long it would be hahaha. The nice thing though, is that we wanted to take our time and enjoy the trip. So we made stops, took turns driving, and had fun with it. We took pictures next to signs, except for Georgia because I was driving and Josh was sleeping and it was the middle of the night. We also stopped to watch a movie (Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, HILARIOUS) so we just had a bunch of fun.

Once we finished the stopping and started driving straight we eventually hit the bridges that take you from Florida to the Keys. Not going to lie, opening the window sometimes smelled horrible; swamplands… not a pleasant stench. But the view? Was BEAUTIFUL! I mean yeah you have the ocean to your left and your right. But you also have the clouds and they looked amazing. I set up the GoPro as a dash cam to get some of the bridges and road for you.

 

And Finally in the end. We get to the cottage that will be our home for the next week. We will be spending most of our days here together. Relaxing, spending time together. Its absolutely fairytale. The entrance the sheer curtains on the porch, the quaint and yet perfect pool. Everything about this is beautiful and lovely. There’s even chickens and roosters randomly roaming across the streets. Shop owners put out bowls of water for them. They’re so cute. I apologize, these photos below were all taken with my phone so the quality’s not perfect.

My Home Away From Home

I realize that by now you must be sick of seeing pictures of the mountains in Tennessee. I make multiple posts a year I know. But you have to understand. I never get tired of seeing these mountains. They have a certain comforting effect on me. The mountains, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Parrot Mountain, I can never wait to see these places.

 

So sorry for another mountain post. I promise I’ll have new stuff in  few months. And besides this time around I have some new faces. Future sister-in-law is a budding photographer herself, but she doesn’t particularly like being in the pictures……. oops.
