A Break From Winter in Key West Part 3

DAY FIVE

Sunday called for brunch, so we headed back to Stock Island for Pizza and Prusecco. Roostica is a fairly new restaurant. I would have to say it's a great addition to the islands. There were a variety of breakfast pizzas, yummy veggies and even a chocolate pizza for dessert. It went well with the cranberry mimosas that were served. It was great to be able to sit outside in the morning and listen to live jazz while eating breakfast.

Of course we spent the afternoon lounging by the pool. Another couple flew in from our area that day. They were so glad to be with us as the temps at home were in the single digits all week. Brrr!

The event of the evening was the sunset cruise we had all booked together. We boarded the boat, had some beverages, some food and some dancing. Unfortunately it was overcast so no sunset :( but on the way back to the harbor, the sky cleared and we got to see a beautiful moon rise over the island.

The food on the boat was a little scant so we decided to go truly tourist and spend some time at the original Margaritaville Cafe. Southern Drawl was playing live and as luck would have it, they were making a video, so guess who can be seen dancing through it in a conga line? Yes, it was our goofy crew.

DAY SIX

Although all our friends were staying for longer periods, Bob and I were heading home on this day. Mary Ann and Scott said we couldn't leave before having breakfast at Blue Heaven. We actually got to dine in a beautiful outdoor garden, complete with Key West wild chickens clucking and strutting under the tables. They served some tasty omelets and eggs Benedict here. After breakfast there was just enough time for goodbye hugs and pictures at Mile Marker 0 before catching the shuttle to the airport.

This was truly one of my favorite trips. When I think about it, the reasons are everyone could enjoy their time in the Keys in their own way and on their own schedule, the weather was beautiful and it provided a much needed break from Winter and we got to share a lot of new enjoyable experiences with some great friends!
