This is not an April Fool's joke, we actually went to the Keys this past Monday, April 1st. Five of us - Uncle David, Aunt Lowell, Christina, Catherine, and I all climbed in Lowell's car and made the trek from Miami to Key West.
We saw some places along the way for me to stop on our way back through for some photos, but we were trying to make decent time to get all the way down to Key West. We flirted with some rain along the way down, but then it cleared up and we had sunny skies well before lunch lasting for the rest of the day.
We had to do the usual touristy things, like stop at the southernmost point on the continental US and get some obligatory photos.
We had a very nice lunch next door to the Ernest Hemingway home (don't ask about their polydactyl panini, whatever you do!), and then walked around exploring Key West for a couple of hours. We made our way back home, stopping to enjoy the warm breeze rolling in off the ocean. I figured I'd get a self-portrait, but unfortunately all you get to see is the kitschy-foot shot!
And of course the lonely palm tree. I'm guessing he's seen many colorful sunrises and sunsets. It was a long day, but definitely a fun one. Thank you to Nancy and Chauncey for watching the kids.
Have a wonderful day everybody,
Marc
