The best part of our trip was our visit to Key West, Florida; also known as the Conch Republic after their secession and war with the US (with all the randomness I post here, this fact is actually true. Go figure.). The sun was shining, the weather was hot, and my chocolate-covered key lime-sicle was dripping on my shirt. What more could you ask for?
The island was nice and quaint and the people were pretty friendly. Although, a few were a bit "aggressive" in their approach. But once we straightened a few things out, Captain Hemming here was pretty cool.
The island wasn't very big but we decided to shell out for a trolley tour which saved us from wandering about and tiring ourselves out. Here we stopped for a picture at the southernmost point in the US. Although, technically that spot would be behind the giant cone-thing but that would have blocked us from the shot.
The restaurant pictured here was cool. Hemingway apparently used to torture his liver here and we had some good food. The atmosphere was pretty lively and we enjoyed it. Notwithstanding this, I've agreed to serve as a regional representative for the Committee For The Advancement And Promotion Of World Wide Joes (or CFTAAPOWWJ for short) in a suit against the proprietors of this restaurant. We're suing for slander. I and the majority of Joes represented by our organization happen to be very neat and tidy, thank you very much.
Key West was great. I remember thinking it had a wonderful after-taste (although that could have been the aforementioned -sicle, I can't remember). All-in-all our whole trip was fun, as we visited some interesting places,
and met some cool people. But, mostly, because we got to spend some great time together.

You guys always go to such cool places on your trips. Take us on the next one, please! I thoroughly enjoy your pictures and your writing style - always makes me chuckle. Good luck with all the decisions you have to make coming up soon!
I'm glad you guys had a great time traveling. I, of course, am jealous. Although, I have to say that being married to a Bob I'm a bit confused by your Bob comments. What's wrong with being named Bob? Also, I don't think you should suggest people asking him anything cause I don't think he'd know. :)
hey I found your blog! I love all the places you guys have traveled too. Good luck in AZ! Hope you survive the summer. :)
Hey, what happened to your comic about the wonderful tiramasu (sp?) My sister wanted to make it.
A key-lime sicle covered in chocolate? Awesome. Now you've made me want to visit Florida. Ross and I are having key lime pie tonight. It's the first time I've made it -- we'll see how it goes.
