Florida 2013 Part 6

You are probably wondering when these Florida posts are going to end! :-) (I mean, 6 parts! Come on already!) Well, I have news for you! This is the last one! Aren't you excited to read about my conclusion to our vacation???

Well, on Friday, April 12, our last day in the Keys, we packed up and drove to Leigh Ann's Coffee House for breakfast. Kara and I split a cheese danish and a cinnamon roll that had pastry dough instead of regular dough.

 For those of you that don't know, a cheese danish is filled with cream cheese whipped with powdered sugar. Not some sort of savory cheese.:-) Both of our breakfast items were delicious! And yes, that is my ever present journal, trying to catch up on all the latest events. :-)


 After breakfast, we drove to a "few" gift shops. Corinna got her souvenir at one. She got a fuzzy pink stuffed animal starfish with colorful swirls on it. It also has big eyes and a mouth. She calls it her "sauw-fish." It sounds kind of like "selfish", but it's pretty cute. At another gift shop, Darin got a small dolphin snow globe. After looking at several gift shops for Kara, (without success), we drove to Sparky's for lunch. We had been there on our previous vacation to Florida three years earlier. Kara and I split a small pizza. It was a 10 inch thin crust pizza with shrimp, bacon, fresh tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese. Mmmmmm. It was good! The shrimp were flavorful and juicy, the bacon was crispy, and the mozzarella was oozing off the pizza, not to mention the nice addition of fresh tomatoes! That was a very good pizza! After lunch, Kara bought a Sparky's shirt for her souvenir with the money that was given to her by our grandpa and grandma. We had finally found Kara a souvenir! Victory!! :-) After lunch, we drove back to Fort Lauderdale, where we would be staying for the night.

Look at the water!


As a surprise, we stopped at Robert Is Here in the afternoon. It is a smoothie and fresh produce "stand" that we had gone to three years earlier. It was nice to get out of the suburban for a while and the cool drinks were refreshing. But we all agreed: they needed a BlendTec! :-)


And yes! That is all! That concludes our Florida vacation! We arrived home on Monday, April 15 without any disasters or accidents. :-)
