Wow! We just left 70 degrees to return to 20-something! It is not an easy adjustment.
Bill, Henry, and I joined Big Bill in Key West this past week. Poppa has a two-week timeshare and invited us to join him down there. Bill and his dad drove down on Friday, and Henry and I flew on Saturday. It was Henry's first plane ride and he did GREAT! Luckily, we sent our luggage with the guys, so Henry and I just had our carry-ons. We sat on the runway due to a technical malfunction with our aircraft for about an hour and 15 mins, so Henry got a little rowdy about 30 mins before we landed. Then he fell asleep on the decent... of course!
When the guys picked us up, we unpacked and regrouped. Then, went for a walk on Duval. We found ourselves listening to music at The Bull and buying Key Lime Pie at Matthesons (the best!). We ate at Blue Heaven, where I ordered the lobster eggs benedict and Bill had the filet/lobster eggs benedict... and the roosters ran around eating Henry's crumbs. We ordered in food one night, got pizza another night from Upper Crust, ate at Prime 951 (wonderful steaks and a side of penne with melted smoked gouda), then ended with La Trattoria (claimed by locals as the best restaurant in town). The food was delicious! We strolled through a couple of small parks and found trees to climb, then swam in the heated pool at The Banyan. We even ate lunch with Mr. Jud (Poppa's friend that lives down there) on Stock Island one day.
Henry enjoyed every minute! Especially, the morning trips to the coffee shop, Sippin', then down to the docks and around Key West on hour walks. We also enjoyed a pedicab ride, bike ride, and Poppa's scooter. Henry was pretty much spoiled (I'm sure you can't imagine!) - so returning to the cold has been a shock! If you've never been to Key West, it's incredible! It's flat, so walking or bike riding is very easy. The weather is great in January too. It was 70 during the days and low 60s at night.
We had a wonderful time! Key West is a great vacation place with babies. Henry was able to go everywhere we went. He ate lobster, steak, crab bisque, and pizza - and enjoyed it all!! Our time down there was too short... so maybe we'll stay longer next year!
