Saturday
we had the day to do whatever we want. The hotel had Jet Ski rentals so we
decided to rent one and go on a trip around the island. It was really cool! We
saw this are where the Navy was carving out a “hide-a-way” base for submarines
but since they were doing this during the space race they quickly figured out
that you could see these channels from space and that there weren’t so hidden
so they scrapped the project. They were about 90ft and now they are about 60ft,
freaked me out not going to lie. You can see them from google earth too.
Sliding over the crystal clear water was really cool! It was only a few feet
deep. Then when we got to the southern tip of the island our guide had us cut
the engines and wait and see if some dolphins would show up; and they did!!!
After that we went to the pool and had some more drinks…yummy Bahama Mamas! And
after eating an early dinner we went for a drive north on Highway 1. We drove
all the way to Marathon Key, seeing some funny named Keys, privately owned Keys
and seven mile long bridges; of course the top was down! Made our way back and
just rested; we surprisingly went to bed really early! But aren’t vacations for
relaxing! 
Sunday
came and it was time to leave, we made our way to the small airport where I had
my 1st slice of key lime pie (haha, I was so full at all the other
restaurants)! Then we headed to Tampa (side note, had some Mexican food at the
airport there and they didn’t have refried beans! Don’t know what kind of
Mexican restaurants they run in Florida but that’s BS!) And then made it home
to Houston! Good to be back!
