We flew into Miami late Friday Afternoon, rented a car, and then drove to Key Largo. I was a bit motion sick from an access of turbulence and from the new car smell of our rental car but we made it to the camp site before the family. The rest of the Cooks didn't show up until late so in the mean time we went to dinner at "the Marlin" a little sea food joint not far away. the clam chowder was super yummy and we all enjoyed Adam's fresh Mango shake!
the next day, the 4th, was a little too windy for our scheduled snorkeling trip so we stayed by shore and explored old ship ruins via snorkeling.
On Sunday we visited a Tiny branch on the Island Marathon. I was asked to play the Piano and I also gave the Relief Society lesson. the rest of the family offered prayers and bore testimony seeing as though we literally tripled the congregation. They provided a delicious break the fast (amazing pecan rolls).
We spent the rest of the Sabbath on a little nature walk around our camp site on Bahia Honda key
Monday, the sixth of June we got on a boat and headed out to Looe Key (under water) there we went snorkeling for an hour and a half, it wasn't enough time! seeing the reef and all the fishes and creatures was an indescribable experience and I would love to go back some day. It was so beautiful. We spent the rest of the day driving to Key west, seeing the Southernmost point of the continental US, relaxing on the beach, and driving back to our last key camp site.
Our last camp site at long Key was right on the beach and had beautiful white sand (this picture is at low tide)
Packing up the pop up camper (a very comfy way to camp) each site had water, electricity, and warm showers. we saw a huge crab on the way to the showers this morning (sorry no pics)
Adam and Aunt Milla
All packed up and ready to go!
