Islamorada, Florida Keys

Today we met a relative that we had never met before. For lack of knowing the proper relationship I will simply say Jim's cousin Vicky lives in Key Largo with her husband Doug and daughter Megan.  Jim's grandmother and Vicky's grandmother are sisters, so what does that make Jim to Vicky? 

They came down to the marina, and we headed out to Wahoos @Whale Harbor for lunch. It was a nice afternoon, and we all had a great time.  Megan was a real trooper, putting up with hours of adult conversation. Hopefully we will connect with them again before we leave the area.

On Saturday @ Founders  Park, next to our marina there was a music fest called "Bay Jam".  During the course of the day various bands would take turns playing, and of course there was food vendors.

The weather is getting warmer, it is starting to feel more like Florida.  There is a heated olympic size pool at Founders Park that the marina can use, so we have taken advantage of that.

We arrived here Monday, the 1st of March on schedule with no problems.  The following day my herniated disk decided to act up, so I have been out of commission for the last 2 weeks.  During that time our oldest son Dan, came down for a visit, being this close to Key West, we had to go, so I took my pain meds and here we are at Sloppy Joe's in Key West.  We enjoyed Dan's visit, wish he could have stayed longer

Mile Marker "0" is on the corner of Whitehead St and Fleming St. in Key West.  When you enter the keys you will begin with Mile Marker 126 on U.S 1
