Our Amazing "Babymoon" to Key West

Dwight and I (and Jonah) have been so blessed to have made some close friends in our neighborhood. They are the same age as us and have a son the same age as Jonah. Those boys have so much fun together. The mom is also pregnant her second baby - only a month behind me! Though we don't know yet if Rebecca will have a little girl-friend or guy-friend to grow up with. Hopefully they'll be able to find out soon : )
Well, our friends have been date-trading with us - which is just amazing! The boys do so well with their sleepovers, so Dwight and I get to go out every couple of weeks on real dates! And our friends get to go out on theirs while we hang out with the little buddies.
We decided, since the babies' due dates are getting closer, that we should do a couple of overnight trips while there are still just the two boys to watch. Dwight and I got to go first - and we did a full out vacation last weekend! It was the first time we had left Jonah for more than just a few hours and we knew the drive wouldn't be 100% comfortable for me - but we just needed to get away...and so we did!
We drove down to Key West on Friday and stayed 2 nights at a little B&B. It was really nice and relaxing. We've decided that Key West is one of our most favorite places to visit and we already know what we want to do when we go back. Here are a few pictures of what we did on this trip...

We went to Key West's smallest bar - only because when they saw their "favorite pregnant girl" walk by, they were adamant that we come and visit. Dwight and I decided
that the entertaining bar tender was more appealing than the yucky water they served :)

This is the amazing hippie guy who made Jonah a sailboat out of wire.
We love local artists - and what he did was so unique.

We visited the Butterfly Observatory. It was quite beautiful. Apparently one landed
on my head - but I didn't get to see it. But that still means good luck
for me! Dwight took some really good pictures of butterflies that we want to put up on
Rebecca's wall.

Then, we took a bike ride to the beach - stopping by the lowest point in America.

The beach was right by the old fort - which we visited until it was too hot to walk around - which wasn't too long at all.
As for the beach - beautiful! But warm - like bath water warm. We played in it for a little while, but found the cold shower afterward to be more refreshing and enjoyable :)

This is actually the first night we were there. Dwight got his clam dinner.

And here's Dwight eating is lobster at Lobster Fest. Boy does he like his seafood =p

We also took a ghost tour around the old town. That was a cool thing. Especially since all of Key West lost power in the middle of our tour! The guide says it wasn't planned - haha.
Here's a picture of our guide. We forgot to get pictures of the two of us.

This is the best "ghost picture" we got. This tree came from Zimbabwe or something like that. The roots fall from the tree and replant themselves in the ground- so it was a creepy tree anyway. But then when we took this picture...the guide says those are ghosts - so why not!

It was such a fun trip! We are so grateful we had that time with just to two of use before Dwight starts school and before we add an extra baby into the mix. But, we were sure happy to get back home to our little man.
Now, we're just looking forward to returning the favor to our friends when they get to take their weekend getaway - they sure deserve it!
