Florida Travels



Recently, I was on spring break and traveled to Florida. In addition to visiting my grandmother, I spent a few days in Key West! Key West was an experience, there were electric cars all over, bustling cruise ships, parrots on bikes, and chickens running loose in the streets! I felt really cool walking by all the other college students with my parents in tow…. but I am almost positive I got to stay at a much nicer place because of my folks so it all worked out! On our last morning in Key West I decided to try paddle boarding, and I am so happy that I did because I got to see TWO MANATEES and they even swam right up to me! The encounter was indescribable! I felt I had to document it so I quickly paddled onto shore and grabbed my Dad's phone, which has a waterproof case, then paddled back out and snapped some pictures!
I also ate tons, I housed two stacks of three pancakes each over my break and it was awesome! I also had so much fish, I can't even count the types or ways of preparation! Oh, and of course I took hundreds of pictures, I took over 800 in a 24 hour period….! So, I decided to share some!

Dinner at their steakhouse, The Striphouse, was fabulous!
It is also where I had that amazing 24 layer chocolate cake

I also had my first Shake Shack experience and it totally lived up to the hype!
Can't wait to go back and have more frozen custard!
