Feb 4 2014 -- South to Key West FL
Started the day with "Dear, time to get up." Ugh, it was 8am in the morning. My lights don't come on until after 9am.
We started the day off at McDonalds with McMuffins and coffee. Gary had sweet tea.
The 130 mile trip was slow but pretty. The traffic was heavy and most of the road was two lanes. It was a beautiful day. High reached 83 degrees. I'm sorry northern friends; but it is nice!

Another impressive home. It was three stories. View of the oceans.
There were about ten jet keys racing along with the same distance between them. If only I was young and could swim and didn't get car sick and didn't have a dog and ...........
