Cruise- Days 8-12

We had 2 more sea days that we filled with trivia, games, shows, a massage, and so much good food and company. Our last port day was spent at CoCo Cay, which is always beautiful and relaxing. Cahl had bought us tickets to the CoCo Cay Beach Club and it was the perfect way to spend the day. We had a beach nearly to ourselves, with plenty of chairs and shade. Cahl snorkeled and saw a sting ray and nurse shark, along with plenty of fish. Our tickets also included unlimited drinks and a delicious lunch, as well as a pool. We did a little shopping at the end of the day, but mostly just loved sitting on the beach all day.

We got back to Ft. Lauderdale and got off the ship Sunday morning, and picked up a rental car to drive down to Key West. We took our time on the drive, and stopped at Long Key State park, and a cool farmer's market on the way. Once we got to Key West, we checked into our hotel, then headed out for some sightseeing and shopping. We visited the Southernmost Point, Hemmingway's house, and the St Paul's Episcopal Church before making our way to El Siboney for dinner. 

Monday we packed in as much of Key West as we could- Truman's Little White House, the Maritime Museum, Mallory Square, the Sails to Rails Museum, and of course Kermit's Key Lime Pie! We had one last hour to spend at the beach before it was time to pack up and head north again. A few days in Key West was the perfect end to our trip, and I'm so thankful for the opportunity to go!
