Feb 15, 2015  We are using bringfido.com a lot this trip.  Since the addition of our four legged “baby” to the family, our choices of activities have changed a lot.  Anne’s Beach has always been on our list of great places to bring a picnic lunch, take a nice leisurely walk on the boardwalk or beach and if we’re really lucky enjoy watching some para-sailing.   We were very happy to see it was listed as “pet friendly” on bringfido.com.  I don’t know who had more fun in the water, David or E T.  I’m the photographer 🙂

Today is our first day of “real” Key weather, it was just delightful.  High 60’s low 70’s, light breeze, low humidity.  It took awhile getting here and I hope it stays awhile.

The days seem to fly by.  I wonder why I’m always so tired at the end of the day.  Today, besides going to Anne’s Beach we took E T to another “pet friendly” venue Robbies Marina in Islamorada.  Robbie’s is a must stop .  There is something for everyone. The most entertaining is feeding the Tarpon. There is also kayaking, a craft fair, restaurant and much more.  We stopped at Robbie’s and it was very crowded and the atmosphere was very  festive.   There was an excellent live band playing on the dock,  but it was VERY loud.  I think it hurt E T’s ears. She stood her ground and would not go into the restaurant or dock area.  We didn’t push it.  Maybe next time she’ll get to feed the tarpon  🙂  We also bicycled about 5 miles (round trip) to Long Key State Park, from Fiesta Key on a paved bike path.  We got some good tips from the Ranger on duty at Long Key on getting a site for one night.   We still don’t have a reservation for a campsite for the night of the 17th.

E T enjoy going with us and “our cousins”  to Sunset point again, for another fabulous sunset.

Tomorrow we move to Curry Hammock State Park in Marathon (about mile marker 50).  We got very lucky and were able to make a reservation for one night.  I’m hoping for a day as nice as today. The kayaking at Curry Hammock is suppose to be excellent and if the water is warm enough we might “kayak with some manatee”.
