Whew!

Man, what a vacation. Chad and I have needed this more than you will ever know. Today we found out some disheartening news. My paw paw passed away last night. What do we do from here? egh. I am stuck. Chad and I went to see the Southernmost point in the USA this evening and we stood together watching the sunset and I couldn't help but be comforted that my paw paw is resting now. He wasn't deathly ill that I know of, he just grew tired and his organs began to give out. But I feel better knowing that he is resting safe in the arms of God and it won't be long and I will see him again. The sunrises and sunsets are amazing here in the Keys; it's almost like in the "City of Angels" when they go see the sunrise and you can hear singing, or music. Enchanting.

Today was a nice relaxing day. We went parasailing this morning and it was AWESOME! Neither of us have ever been before so we sat on the back of the boat and he punched it! We paid an extra $30 to have him videotape and take pictures, I can't wait to see them. He took "oh hell what did I get myself into," and "thank goodness I am not going to die" pictures. I can't wait to see my face. We were sky high and the water is so clear you can see turtles, sharks, corals and all kinds of other sea life. Words can't describe my happiness.

We spent the rest of the day by the pools at the hotel; there are four. I had the most amazing panini from the cabana by the pool. Chad was recuperating from all the scotch he had this afternoon. When you are relaxing and sitting I don't think you realize how much you have had until you stand up. I don't think he will ever do that again. I sat in the pool listening to other people; most of all the people are talking about work. It is sad that you go on vacation and you talk about work. Work is the furthest thing from Chad and I's minds. Hmmm? Yep.... Gone!

This evening after Chad had a nap we went to the Southernmost point in the USA. 90 miles from Cuba. Then we went to Duval street. We saw Maragaritaville, Cowboy Bills, and we went into pretty much every gallery we could see in an hour. Tonight wasn't the night we planned to go to Duval Street and they suck money out of you for parking so we had an hour and twenty minutes. I am more for the tasteful stores, like the galleries. I am not so sure about those stores with the " Hookahs?" Chad says in India they use them to smoke tobacco but here in the USA those lazy bones smoke weed in then. Stupid if you ask me and Chad and I are totally against that stuff so we just walked by those stores. Definitly make time to check out all the galleries, absolutely amazing!

All in all it was an amazing day and I look forward to spending more time in the ocean tomorrow at Fort Zachary Taylor. If you are home check out the webcam. We will be there! Have a Happy Hump Day!
