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...
Faena Theater Tryst Review
For my mother’s birthday, she wanted to go see the show Tryst in Faena. We normally go see one show from the theater per year. We got seats as far back as possible. The theater is pretty small.

On the way to the theater, we saw what had become of Miami Beach. The road to it has become super confusing. Just getting to Miami Beach was a hassle. The roads twisted...
Artsy Sister Visits Key West Museum of Art and History
Last month, we took a mini vacation to Key West. I visited this Museum the day after visiting Hemmingway’s Cats Museum. This was before the bad times again. It was nice to have a break from like everything. Key West seemed like back to normal. It was nice to see humans enjoying their time. The place was a bit full, and there were bad folks roaming the streets. Whenever a lot of fishes gather, the predators head out to hunt. Putting this aside, the weather was fine, and everything was pretty. While there we decided to visit the Key West...
The Cats in Hemingway's Museum in Key West Florida
I took a long vacation from everything. My family went down to Key West to soak in the pool for a bit. In Key West, it seems like life has returned to normal. While there, we also visited two museums. The first one was the Museum of Hemingway. I think the place is not properly named. The museum focuses on his cats. According to the curator, the museum was founded under the express written consent that they would look after Hemingway’s cat family. Hemingway could only write when his cats where around. So, throughout the museum I saw a...
