Key West: Day 4

Sophie and I woke up this morning at about 11 o'clock since there was no rush to get up. We planned to go to the beach. Neither of us were very hungry so we didn't do breakfast, but instead, drove to the beach and ate at a restaurant on the beach. We were first going to go to a cafe at the Southernmost Beach, but we pulled up and it. Was. Packed. So Bammy told Boppa to turn around, we're going to the other beach.

Reluctantly, Boppa did as he was told.

We ate at a restaurant called Salute. I don't know how to do accents on the computer so I'll just leave it as is. I had (guess!) spaghetti and meatballs:

IT WAS SO GOOD.

I also had a tall glass of lemonade. My favorite.

Then, Bammy and Boppa left Sophie and I at the beach, where we attempted to get tan. We walked down the pier:

At about 4, I called Bammy to come pick us up. Two hours at the beach was plenty. I had the brilliant idea to go to Duval street and do some shopping. Bammy drove us home, we changed, got our money, and drove over to Duval street. She dropped us off and we went around to some shops. 

After looking in some stores, being called beautiful by an extremely friendly man, (whom I wish to be friends with,) and paying a visit to the beloved candy store, we grew tired and decided to go home. But we didn't leave empty handed. I got a new dress, which I've realized now, I don't regret buying. It's so awesome. I also got a new swimsuit as well as a tshirt for my little brother. I still have to do some shopping for the rest of my family. 

Oh, and great news! Due to All The Rage Back Home (Hah, Interpol jokes), we booked a LATER FLIGHT HOME!!!! We are now leaving on Wednesday at around noon, which gives us a whole other night and evening to spend in Key West! I'm so excited. 

Back to my day. Before we left Duval street, Sophie and I had to stop for some ice cream:

I had Butterscotch Bomb which was, of course, BOMB. 

So now we're home, and we plan on staying inside for the evening. Bammy insists that we watch the new episode of Downton Abbey, although I don't watch it on a regular basis. I'm down with it, though. Dinner should be nice; Bammy and Boppa are making ribs, mac n' cheese and I'm sure there'll be some sort of side dish. I'm pumped.
