Cutest littlest spot at the marina @Odd Birds cafe. . I knew it would be a great place as soon as we walked in the door, they had a cold case full of my favorite tea drink, Yerba Mate. The food was phenomenal and such a cute little hidden spot.

Jupiter Off-Leash Dog Beach

We parked, set up power to run the ACs, and changes to go to a 2 mile strip of beach that allows dogs off leash! It was beautiful, bright warm waters and the sand was full of beautiful shells! Not a bad way to end the day of travel and work 😃

20
Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum

We tried to go climb the Jupiter light house but unfortunately the kiddos had to be a certain height and we couldn’t climb! We decided to check out Blowing Rock preserve instead.

21
The Nature Conservancy Blowing Rocks Preserve

Blowing Rock Preserve was very cool! The path is covered with bent dense trees that block the hot Florida sun on the walk to the ocean and rocks. Very beautiful!!

22
Bathtub Reef Beach

Our third destination today was Bathtub Reef beach. Usually very calm water condition as lend to great swimming for little kids. Unfortunately today was red flag and not great for swimming. So we collected some seashells and played in the sand! Time to find somewhere to eat next…

We made it to our spot in the Florida Keys 😃

Sunshine Key RV Resort & Marina

Lunch break walk to the marina proved eventful!! Saw some cool manatees and tons of fish 🐠

Wonderful day spent relaxing with my family. Missing Mason a ton, I wish he was here with us.

25
Summerland Key

Today we decided to head to key west, but on the way we stopped at a few places from my childhood. When I was little, my dad was in the navy and he was stationed in Key West. It was really awesome to visit places from my childhood. So many awesome memories came back to me.

The first place we stopped at was on summer land key, and used to be called Sherman’s Nautical Emporium. My mom and step dad’s store we lived in the back apartment with them. Many memories of swimming, diving, jumping off buildings and fishing with my siblings. Many many great times there. It looks a lot different now! It was once painted with a full underwater mural and just beautiful. Honestly, it was looking kind of dumpy under its current ownership. But none the less, the bones were the same and it was so cool to visit!

Old swimming and fishing grounds!

Not much changed in the water, green and full of what we always called parrot fish. Idk if that is their actual name lol.

Next key and stop of our day was Cudjoe Key. Small little key that we lived in for a year or so when I was 9.

I’m not 100% sure until I look at old photos but I am almost certain this is the house! Looks mostly the same but it didn’t have a ramp. \240Or so Many yard decorations.

Next key from there was where I went to school, Sugarloaf Key. I attended this school for Mr. Hunters 4th grade class. Seeing the bus loop brought back a ton of memories from my early childhood, I loved it.

The next stop was to Sigsbee Naval Base, Key West. We stopped into the base housing and it honestly didn’t look like much had changed at all! It was amazing to see what I remembered so vividly was accurate! I loved that stop.

Evening fishing was fun! We watched a beautiful sunset and caught a bunch of little fish right off the dock at camp.
