Three Day Staycation Just What the Doctor Ordered



     Our Bahama trip had to be postponed because of the strong north winds at sea.  Crossing the Gulf Stream in a small boat is not a good idea when you have strong north winds, the seas get really angry.




     Undaunted, we jumped into the car and went Jimmy Johnson's Big Chill, and had a great breakfast at Ihop in Marathon.  61 miles up the keys to Duck Key and checked into the Hawks Cay Resort for a couple of nights.  The weather was still cold (cool by the standards of the rest of the country), so we spent a lot of the time inside and doing indoor things.  We did get out for a few walks and got to enjoy the beauty of the resort and the island.  We did run up to Key Largo and had a great dinner at

     After two days of rest and relaxation off the rock for a change of scenery, we were ready to return
to Key West.  Even when you live in paradise, there are other parts of paradise to explore.  New restaurants, bars, and entertainment always lifts your spirits and make you ready to return to work and  the day to day life.
