For New Year's and my dad's 60th, we headed to Key West, dad's birthplace. Everyone had an amazing time on the trip - it was so relaxing, great weather, tons to do. But Mollie and Papa probably had the best time of all. The first day we went over to the Casa Marina hotel to play on the beach and hang out. If you're looking for the perfect vacation getaway, I highly recommend it!
Mollie decided that most of Key West was a no-clothes zone so although she would occasionally wear a swim suit, this was mostly her outfit of choice.
So, one of the finer things about the Casa Marina beach is that the staff is incredibly service oriented. So, in the middle of they day they brought around popsicles for the kids and drinks for the grown ups (key lime pina colada anyone?)
We also spent plenty of time at the pool at Nana and Papa's condo.
Mollie's right at home in the water - just like Auntie Sissy.
On New Year's eve we had dinner at Louie's Backyard. It was so delicious and we had a celebratory birthday cake for Dad's b-day.
Louie took Mollie back to our beach house long before midnight, but here are the rest of us watching Sushi drop in the big red shoe.
The next day, the men went fishing and the girls had a shopping and lunch on the beach day.
Then, for Papa's birthday, the main event, we went on a Duval Bar Crawl. Nana had matching shirts made (well, Mollie's had fish on it but everyone else had a Mike's 60th Duval Crawl shirt).
There were cards, and presents...
And drinks and snacks...
And lots and lots of merriment
I'm including this next picture for Mollie's benefit. There are roosters and chickens all over Key West - the Key West version of a squirrel. She loved them, from a distance.
A family pic on our last day.
And last but certainly not least - key lime pie. The very best. From Blue Heaven.
