Taylor Arrived

Jonathan brought Taylor down on the weekend and she will be spending about 10 days here in Paradise and then she will ride back up Central FL with me and Jonathan will pick her up.

Dena is Jonathan's significant other and she came with them. Dena has two children, Josh is 17 and Meghan is 7. The kids didn't come down so it was a quick turn around for Jonathan and Dena.

Dena had never been to Key West so we walked around Paradise (Bluewater Key RV Resort) and they had an opportunity to ooohhh & ahhhhh about my site and then hit the water in the canal for a dip in the good old salty water and a ride down the canal in the kayak. Taylor decided she would swim the distance alongside the kayak. If you will recall, Taylor is my swimmer and she competes with the Camden County Boomers. I'm a proud Gran and I think she does an outstanding job.

Jonathan & Taylor took me out for a belated Mother's Day dinner and I chose to go to Turtle Kraals. A new (new to me) singer was there, Raven, and I was hoping they could hear her but we were too early. So after dinner we headed on over to the Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square. Not so many acts were there, guess they have dwindled since the season has slacked off. The entertaining cats were not there. Plenty of artists though.

Then we went to watch the sunset from the Sunset Pier and walked down Duval and did some shopping. It was a quick tour of KW but Dena got a feel for it. Of course no tour of KW would be complete without a photo op at the Southernmost Point, which is 90 miles from Cuba. We took out pictures at night, during the day the lines are so long and the wait too hot. So Taylor and I got to mark that off our list of things to do.

Enjoy the slide show, you know the drill; click to enlarge. Later...

Enjoyed the slide show. Looks like you were able to show them a good example of your Key West home. Enjoy your time with Taylor. Loved the photos with the sun up in the sky and the boats.

Enjoyed the museums! We've seen some of them but not all. I really really like the new look of your blog! BTW, I was not able to see the slideshow. Will try another time. Later......
