Last Mango in Paris

 Each morning, we enjoyed breakfast with the resident rooster and chickens at the hotel.  Turns out that they really like Cheerios!
 Six of our group set out for Stock Island.  Dad, Kevin, Todd, and I kayaked, while Mom and David hung out on the shore and waited patiently.
 We loved paddling through the mangroves.
 And we were only lost for a little while.
 Paddling (and being lost) made us hungry, so we went to Hogfish Bar and Grill for lunch, where I had possibly my favorite meal of the trip - an overstuffed Maine lobster roll.  Makes me hungry again just seeing the picture!


 We walked around the harbor, finding great ideas, like this tiki hut with a motor.  Wouldn't that be fun out on the lake?!
 I think I could live in this tiny house if it meant living in the Keys.
 Once we returned, it was about time for Krista and Kendall to arrive.  We played a little cornhole while we waited to head out again.  Mom and Todd won this round!
David and I insisted that the Key West experience wasn't complete without a stop by Captain Tony's.  It's a great dark cool bar that was in a Jimmy Buffett song - AND they have ski ball!
 We have heard that if you get a quarter in the fish's mouth, you get a free beer.  No one was successful, so we didn't get to test out that theory.
Back at Mallory Square, the sun set on another wonderful Key West day.
