Day Twenty: The Florida Keys

Key Largo down to Key West baby and what fun we had.

This man right here my Great Grandfather celebrated a wonderful birthday in style.

We left Florida City at 8am passed through Key Largo and stopped in at Islamorada and visited the Theater at Sea. There we saw dolphins, sharks, parrots, sea lions and really annoying birds.




















After Leaving Theater at Sea we went to the Dolphin Research Center. Both Walter and I got to mark petting/hugging a dolphin off our bucket lists. We got to go down and meet Aleta and get our pictures taken. These were professionally taken photos so I will scan them in when I get home.

After our Dolphin adventures we drove to Key West to go to the Southernmost Point of the US. This was so fun and dinner was delicious. Talked to another stranger and he took our picture. The first photo is straight off the dock 90 miles away is Cuba. No you cannot see it but the view was amazing.
This is the pole we went to the actual Buoy was around in a cove and is actual SE not directly S (Factoid).

It was just a driving day and boy was that an adventure.

Here is how our day started


Now for the middle of our day.
 


As you can tell the weather hasn't been that good. It poured on us in buckets. As I write this its thunder and lightening.

Day Fifteen: Nashville, TN

Update: While at the Ryman I stumbled upon this lovely picture
For those of you that don't know this is who my horse is named after" Whiskey Mae West"
 

Can you guys tell I do not want to leave this place.

Sadly we leave at 7am for Perry Georgia

Got to go to the Ryman Auditorium and walk around after making a one song CD. After making my own CD we went to the movies to see After Earth.




Since last night we didn't get into the Bluebird Café we showed up almost 3 hours early to make it in. Talked with some lovely people while waiting in line. I became the number one fan of hopefully going to be famous Evan Thompson. He writes songs and sings. The people that preformed were so talented. I wish when mom paid for my guitar lessons that I actually practiced then maybe I could have been the one people wanted to know my name.
























Special Video of Evan Thompson singing 'My First Song" written by him.








That's it for today folks. Leaving my dream state tomorrow and moving on down the line.


TTFN,
Ashley
