Last night after dinner I convinced Scott to come with me to the marina so I could take some photos of the lightning! You know your a true photographer when your at a closed marina on the ground waiting to take that once in a lifetime photo of the lightning. I can’t say I got that shot last night but I did get at least 1 good one! 
This past weekend Scott and I went on the Sail, Snorkel and Kayaking tour with Danger Charters. It was a refreshing change of pace from the usual trip we take. To start there were only 14 other people on the boat. We had lots of space to spread out and got to enjoy the trip a little more. I also liked the fact that we were actually sailing and not just putting up a sail for the sake of a photo. We sailed out to a private mangrove island and then got to kayak around it. The scenery was beautiful and it was very peaceful out there. We saw 4 or 5 different kids of birds, a few fish and my personal favorite sting rays. 
They did provide some light snacks but I would like to have had a sandwich or something a little more. Note to self I would pack something for use to share or eat a really big breakfast. All that kayaking and swimming can wear a girl out! The other cool thing about this boat was the step or platform they have for you to get in and out of the water. I got some amazing photos and we even spotted some dolphins on the way back.

One of the most common questions I get is “Where do the locals go?”. Funny you should ask … I go to the same places as you right? Well that is not the case for this tiny little beach that my husband and I found thanks to my Mom and her adventure skills. Geiger Key is at mile marker 8 and just north of Boca Chica. The island has a really good restaurant called Geiger Key Marina and Fish Camp. But the place that I am talking about is all the way at the end of a dead end road that if you didn’t know to keep going you wouldn’t but like most islands you have to hit the ocean eventually…. Right? I really like this place there are not many people around and when the tide is low you can walk out a pretty good distance. We 
spotted lots of fish, hundreds of shells, crabs and even an adult size conch! So if you are just visiting for the week, new to town or planning a trip to Key West this beach is a great stop along the way.
One of my favorite things to do is just sit in the ocean! I know this may sound weird but yes sit! If I had a chair and my cooler next to me I would be in heaven! I could have stayed out there for hours … but as you can see in the above photo my husband is not the tannest person you will ever see and if he just looks at the sun he will get sun burnt!
