The Final Key West Post

Our last full day on the island didn't go quite as planned.  We slept in, woke up and discussed what we wanted to do for the day.  We narrowed it down to a few options and then decided to do the kayak tour through the mangroves where we would have a chance to see manatees, lots of different bird species and lots of sea creatures and maybe even some sharks.  Everyone started getting ready and I was about to book but when I checked the weather it showed thunder and lightning storms would be coming in at the same time as our tour and when I looked out our window it didn't look great towards the ocean so we decided not to book.

With the weather being so iffy we chose to go to the pool for our last day and get in a little more relaxing in.

Popsicles and smoothies were happily enjoyed

After about two hours of pool fun the storm rolled in and there was lots of rain and thunder.  We headed back to the room and all showered up and waited for the rain to stop.

The rain and thunder stopped after about an hour so we took the shuttle over to Duval street to eat dinner at a delicious sushi restaurant.

After dinner we walked along and popped in and out of a few stores before stopping at Matthiessen's Bakery to grab dessert.  This spot is known for their giant cookies which we got as well but we could not pass up their fresh out of the oven huge brownie!

The next morning we were up and at the airport early to head back home.

We had a great time in Key West but just as always we were happy to be going home.

We had a layover in Dallas, Texas and we were about to board when Kayla had to use the restroom.  We told her she could go on her own and watched to make sure she would get in and come out okay.  Brooklyn noticed Kayla was gone and asked where she was, when we told her she went to the restroom she jumped up and was upset that we let her go all alone.  She immediately started texting her.  I told her we could see the restroom and we were watching the whole time.  I took this picture below of Brooklyn standing and watching the entire time to make sure her sister came back safely.  Their bond is so strong and I don't know what they are going to do in a few years when Kayla is off at college.

We were back home in no time!
