vacation!

my boyfriends mom won a free two nights stay in Miami and a free two nights stay in Key West. we planned the trip, and she, her other son chase, caleb and i all went. we rented a van and drove down to miami first. our hotel was right on north beach and was completely amazing! chase and caleb have a friend, zach, that lives in miami and we all met up with him and he showed us all around miami. one night we went and ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp- yum! the beach was beautiful too, caleb and i were the only ones to get in the water though. we saw all the famous places like Miami Ink and such. it was also fun to people watch.

after our two night stay in miami, we headed down to Key West! whew i love key west. i was sad we only spent two nights there, i could have stayed a week plus! our first night we decided to do a bar crawl and try drinks at all the bars in key west. we also ordered conch fritters at each place we went to, and decided that jimmy buffets margaritaville had the best fritters, but sloppy joes had the best sauce- it was a lime mustard sauce and it was to die for! while in key west caleb and i went snorkeling. it was a neat experience. we also saw the sunset at mallory square where there was a crazy cat man doing cat tricks. it was bizarre. but entertaining. the locals were fun to talk to as well. i would have stayed a week in key west! there was so much to do with so little time.
