Grandma's Gone Wild...Part 6...Day 1

Day One

February 21st Fonda, Stacy and I headed out for our annual 
Grandma's Gone Wild
which marked our 6th time to do this....and this year we would head for warmer skies...
Key West, Florida 

 We arrived in Miami and picked up our car to make the drive...we had heard your first time to the Keys to make the drive...Fonda had given Stacy and I a pass which meant we could have drinks and she would drive.

Our first on our journey was Key Largo.
We stopped here
 Some parts of the movie Key Largo with Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn were filmed here. It was a cute little hole in the wall.

And below Stacy with one of the statues of Bogart.
 This is the view from the back side of the bar...just beautiful...and where Stacy and I had used our first drink pass...Thanks Fonda!

Can't remember which place this was but Fonda and Stacy had mentioned seeing this larger than life  lobster and I apparently missed it that I had Fonda turn around...we had our photo moment and then we went into the little shops on property...cute place...we even bought a few things.

Fonda and I with the lobster.

 Next stop was The Postcard Inn in Islamorada at The Worlds Most Famous Tiki  Bar.
 They were having some type of boat races...we ordered drinks and sat and visited and then it was time to get back on the road again.
 The World's Most Famous Tiki Bar...Home of The Rum Runner...
This should of been a warning sign of things to come!?!?!?!?!?
Just sayin'
 Just a little view as we travel
 Next stop was Boondocks Bar ...we needed a little something to tie us over...we were a little hungry...
When we were ready to leave I saw this over sized chair...I call this the Edith Ann chair...
of course, another photo op moment.
 We weren't far from Key West...when we arrived we stopped at the grocery store first, then liquor store...then to the hotel...by then it was dark.

We got checked in and got our luggage up...then we just had dinner on property as we were a little tired from a full day of travels...

Stay tuned for Day 2

The giant lobster was in Islamorada too. I had forgotten about the Edith Ann chair until you sent me those pictures. LOL! Such fun!
