Key West Vacation 2011

I just had to share a few details and pictures from our ten year anniversary trip to Key West, FL!   What an amazing trip complete with lots of sunshine, relaxing, and laughs with precious friends!  We flew out last Wednesday morning and returned Sunday evening.  It was a perfect amount of time for a quick getaway to refresh and refocus!  It was mighty hard to get back into the swing of things this week....  but someone has to pay the bills around here!  ;)

This was our second time in Key West.  We absolutely LOVE the Casa Marina, where we stayed both times.  It is a Waldorf Astoria Hotel complete with superb service, breathtaking views, and the most comfy beds ever!  Not to mention the yummy room service that I enjoyed way too much, especially for breakfast!  ;) nothing like breakfast in bed complete with starbucks coffee!

But, what made the trip most spectacular, was sharing it with the man of my dreams!  After ten years of marriage, I can honestly say that we are more in love with each other than ever!  This trip was definitely our favorite getaway yet, we both completely relaxed and focused on enjoying our time together.   Key West offers Ashley with great fishing, while I get to lounge poolside and shop the night away in the downtown area!   After all, the most important lesson we have learned in ten years is to compromise - if I let Ashley fish then I will get whatever I want!  ;)  Give and take, right?!

And, I could not end the blog, without mentioning our precious friends who joined us.  We met Alan and Alaina at church almost exactly a year ago.  It is amazing the bound we have, it is as if God connected us long before our paths every crossed!  It is not often you find such dear people and I am thankful for their Godly example, support, and love!   Not to mention, the dinner cruise, jet ski tour, shopping, fine dining, lounging poolside, and too many more to name were all definitely more fun while sharing it with friends!   Oh, and praise God Alaina did not need the horse tranquilizer for the plane ride ;) 

Memories are priceless! Go make some!  :)
