Artsy Sister Visits The Theater of the Sea in Islamorada, Florida
Last Sunday, I visited The Theater of the Sea with my family. We got the tickets online. We had nothing better to do during our mini vacation. We always drive by there, on our way to Wahoo Bar and Grill. In order to quench our curiosity, we bought tickets to that Theater. Despite its name, the Theater is like an aquarium and a nature preserve. They rescue and rehabilitate animals before returning them to the wild. The shows work on a rotation cycle. We spent 30 bucks to enter the Theater. It was a fair price. We arrived there around...
Artsy Sister Visits Chesapeake Beach Resort in Islamorada, Florida
On Saturday, I drove down with my family to the Chesapeake Beach Resort. We often drive by there on our way to Key West. Since we wanted to explore a new location, we decided to stay there for two days. We rented one bedroom, with two beds. The two-day stay was only worth 980 bucks. It seemed like a pretty good deal for a room with a view to the ocean. Plus, it was the Memorial Day Weekend. The pool was within walking distance. The only issue I had was with the door. It did not close right. The...
Tarpon Springs Florida Bus Trip
On October 30th, I went with my family to Tarpon Springs. We took a bus to got to the trip. From Miami, it was a 5 hour trip to get to Tarpon Springs. We headed out there like super early. The night before the bus trip, there was a cold front. By the time we got to the place, it was super cold and we had not brought a Jacket. Tarpon Springs is by the coast, and it was raining. The first order of business was to buy a light jacket to warm up the limbs. The weather eventually...
1 Day Road Trip to the Parrot Keys, in Key West
On Saturday, my family took a mental health day. We could only afford to stay one day in our favorite resort. This time we shared only one room. The room had two beds and a little porch, so it works just as well. The last time I visited the Parrot Keys I was more photography oriented. This time I wanted to take lots of videos. I have been working a little bit more on the Youtube. Once the videos are strung together, they are also going to appear on this blog as well. I am going to post about three...
The Parrot Key After Irma
It has been almost nine years since my family went to the Parrot Keys. We have been roaming about the place waiting for a decent deal. This year they had a special for AAA members. We ended up with a 20 percent discount. The better deal was for a villa that came with two rooms. The only downside was the stairs. Still, we were used to climbing stairs since we used to live in Hialeah. The rooms were large and spacious. The place even came with a little kitchen and a living room. The first floor bathroom had a tub...
