After a perfect final day in Key West which concluded the weekend with a fancy birthday celebration for Papa!
We were lucky enough to have the warmest weather yet (and no fog!) Erika, Dad, and I started off the day with a huge and delicious breakfast at the hotel restaurant and then headed downtown Key West with my immediate family where we ate at an awesome outside seafood restaurant. We also walked around the town and visited the mini White house; that was a "must-do." I loved returning to the Marriott to find everyone else lounging by the pool waiting for us to paddle board.
We packed everything in leaving us just enough time to get dressy for the evening. We reserved a room at the Marriott for dinner which worked out really well size-wise (and Papa's hearing) but still left enough personal space. There were so many great things about tonight: We had a slide show going-- so fun to reminisce through all those old pictures. The birthday book was a success, not only was it completed, but everyone read their letter to Bud. He loved it. It was so great hearing everyone present their thoughts/ideas/emotions. And lastly, the wine and food !!! This evening is in close competition with Bermuda 2006.
These are my two favorite snapshots of the night: The girl cousins and Bud&Barb with the massive cake. I'm not sure if he looked happier here or during his dinner speech. :)
