Year one...down!

 We decided since we went to Key West for our 'mini-moon', we'd go every year and take a pic in front of the Southernmost Point holding up as many fingers as years we're married. I didn't quite figure out what to do after 10...toes?? 

Our friends made us these great cups with all the major Key West destinations, which we were to mark off when we had a drink in the cup from that place. First stop: Irish Kevin's. Duh. We did however skip Bare Assets (the name alludes to the type of establishment) cause, well, I don't care to see naked ladies. That is all.

We also get super nerdy about scooters. It's a mild obsession, really. We honk at all other scooters that go by with very few reciprocating honks...whatevs. Egos intact.

Ohhhh...and the dinnerrrrrrr.....there are no words. This was on a private island. The view, the food, the KEY LIME MARTINI....I could have eaten Ramen Noodles the rest of my life and felt I had the best meal possible. And I like food, so that's sayin' something.

The sunsets in Key West are pretty amazing. We sat on the pier and watched it creep into the ocean. It was so beautiful. 

 We didn't have much time there...about 36 hours in total, but we reeeeeally wanted to sneak in parasailing...it was my gift. I always wanted to go and it was worth the wait! So much fun! The guides were a bit annoying about shaking the rope mid air so we were bouncing around after I expressed some nervousness and dipping us ALL the way in the water when we only wanted to do feet (nothing worse than wet jeans, but alas, the chafing ensued...) but it was all in good fun so I took it in stride and nobody got punched in the face! The view from up there was awesome! The water is so blue and clear. Luckily I didn't see any sharks pre-dip...I was convinced one was gonna take my toes off...I didn't say it was rational.

Truly, it was perfect. Just enough time away before missing the kiddos too much but enough time to just enjoy each other and have a reminder of how much fun we have together and juuuust enough time of over-indulging in food and adult beverages to not require rehab (a diet may be necessary though, ugh).

I am so lucky to have this man, I can't wait to spend an eternity with him. I just hope he doesn't figure out he sooo got the short end of the stick. Bwahahahahaha.....
