Whoa There, June! (Part III)

So I'm too behind to say much... Here's the short story-- Ben's grandparents headed up a trip to Key West, FL (where Ben's grandpa was born). On our drive down to the Keys, we stopped at the swamplands to visit some gators! I was surprised at how brave Abby was in the reptile show! I still won't touch a snake to this day, but Abby volunteered to go up front and hold one. ...But I did hold a baby alligator :)



We also got to cruise the swamp waters on a hover boat... a refreshing, loud, fun ride!

In Key West, Ben booked a condo on a Navy base (lacking charm and ocean view, but hey, it was cheap). Plus, his family stayed with us so we were able to hang out more together. I had never felt such heat and humidity! Some of the things we did were...
Celebrate Bill & Carol's 50th wedding anniversary!

Beach time


Eating out! (Cuban, seafood & Sloppy Joes with live music)



And taking in the sights...


Linda was SUCH a trooper! She had some not-so-fun medical issues with her dialysis come up, and she still got out and made the best of it! Wo-MAN!



The house Bill was born in!

Ben and I took a jet ski tour around the islands!


Let us share some the the Key West charm with you!
