The Florida Keys

I realized that I had lived my whole life in Florida but I had never been to The Keys. I planned a road trip for my mother and I as well as Sue, my mothers best friend since high school.

Bridge on the Overseas Highway.

We got out to admire the view and my mother spotted wild manta rays.

Catch of the day: a beautifully painted wooden fish.

Wild iguana.

Ended The Keys the way it began: with a stop at The Blond Giraffe.
