Key West

October is a crazy busy traveling month for me, as in I think I should have just moved to the airport until November....seriously!

First up, was a weekend college reunion trip with my girls to Key West. This was my first time there and we all had a blast! My only regret? I didn't get to try Key Lime Pie ( I know, I know...I'm in the Keys and no Key lime pie...that's almost a sin!).

We stayed at the Double Tree Grand Key Resort, which I would highly recommend if only for the warm, delicious chocolate chip cookies they give you whenever you want (literally whenever....we tested this at 3 am just to check and sure enough we got our cookies!).


The first night was gorgeous out! We spent the night exploring and dancing our way around downtown Key West, stopping by some local favorites like Sloppy Joe's and Rick's (great for dancing!).


The next day was spent soaking up the rays at the amazing pool....


making frenemies with barracudas....


and at the beach, doing the normal things, like ooo ya know, making pyramids.


 This was the navy ship that was being commissioned on Saturday night.



And our last night in the Keys  started with a sunset booze cruise (Fury Water Adventures), that included unlimited drinks. Yes, you heard me right, I said unlimited....obviously, the best decision of the trip. We concluded the cruise with dinner at Cheeseburger Paradise, and yes, it was indeed paradise. My burger came loaded with guacamole, bacon, caramelized mushrooms and onions, 2 kinds of cheese....and a heart attack. Mmmmm!


Beautiful ending to a short, but wonderful trip!

*I was not paid to endorse any of these places, just wanted to share with everyone, in case you want to go to Key West and need ideas of places to go*
