Sunset Key!

It ain't the $5.00 lunch special at the monkey!

Today is SUNSHINE's last full day in Boot Key Harbor! That's right, we are moving the boat to her summer resting place tomorrow.

I thought we'd be aboard at sunset today to give a final conch shell salute to the sunset. Alas, it didn't work out that way. You see, we planned to go with Joe and Dee as they searched the Big Pine Flea Market for Marathon and/or Key West T's. Joe didn't find any to his liking in Marathon proper, and he hit every store trying!

As luck would have it, he hit the mother load at the Flea Market. We thought the trip to Key West was off and that we'd return to the pool. Not so! We continued on to Key West, where Dee found a shirt to her liking. Unfortunately, we were not successful in finding the storage box that we were looking for.

When talk turned to a discussion on where to have lunch, I casually mentioned that our friends Willis and Lucille mentioned that they enjoyed lunch at Lattitudes on Sunset Key. Joe thought that sounded good, Dee and Anna Marie confirmed and we were off to make a reservation.

We took the boat over to the tropical island paradise that is Sunset Key and enjoyed delicious blackened grouper sandwiches and tropical fruit tango. Both were great choices. After lunch, we walked the perimeter of the island before boarding the boat back to Key West.

On the way back to Marathon, we stopped at Boondock's Bar and Grill on Ramrod Key. As luck would have it, the Nowhere Band, a Beatle Tribute Band, was slated to be the entertainment.

We enjoyed a light dinner while listening to and watching the band. We enjoyed them so much that we stayed for all three sets. Their musicianship and vocals were spot on and their set lists were outstanding. The atmosphere was more that of a concert than than of a typical bar band. We had a great time.

We all agreed that this was an outstanding day! As for us, we are thankful that we could spend it with Joe and Dee!
