After Monday's excitement in Key West, we decided to take it easy on the beach here in Key Largo on Tuesday. Unfortunately, the weather was not ideal for beaching. We had decent temperatures - 72 - and it was mostly overcast with momentary peeks at the sun, but the wind was blowing a steady gale.
Elin and Abby started making new flight arrangements home as the weather in Boston resulted in the cancellation of both their original flight and then their back up flight. At this point it doesn't look like they will be able to get out of here until 6 p.m. on Thursday.
But we toughed it out at Harry Harris Beach (some parents weren't thinking straight) in Tavernier. After an hour of battling the winds we packed up and headed back to the trailer.
Probably due to the weather we had the beach and park pretty much to ourselves.

Fortunately, they made their own reservations and are dealing with that. That kind of thing really messes me up.
Then about 3:30 p.m. Abby spotted a Manatee floating by our dock. This Manatee was much larger and less scarred than the one Joan and I saw last week in the same place.
For dinner we decided to try a local haunt - Key Largo Conch House - which is literally in an old house. The food was good and ample.
After dinner we headed west on 1 to Islamorada and the Holiday Isle Tiki Bar, which advertises itself as "World Famous" even though we had never heard of it before.
It was karaoke night so Elin performed two songs and then we headed home to the trailer about 9 p.m. The girls had two of the Tiki's signature Rum Runners and Joan stuck with wine. I enjoyed a non-alcoholic brew.
