Day 2 started with a Character Breakfast! We actually wish it had been later in the week, so Lydia could have warmed up to the characters. So, it was yummy and fun, but Lydia didn’t get into it too much.
Looking through the porthole on the way to the pool…
…while wearing her new water shoes.
The kid pool was nice–lots of different depths and very warm. But we still had that silly cold wind! Lydia was a little intimidated by all the kids and was content to just sit with her feet in the water.
I think she was a little more excited to just walk back to our room…
…with her banana.
Then it was time to get off the boat and see Key West!
Lydia was really excited because Key West has roosters walking around everywhere. Here she is signing “rooster”. She loves roosters because Papa likes roosters.
The only thing I wanted to see in Key West were the key lime pies! I had seen a special on FoodTV about a frozen keylime pie dipped in chocolate that you can only get in Key West. So, once we found those, I was content to just wander around.
And yeah. It was delicious.
We spent the rest of the day looking for sandals for Lydia and enjoying the quaint little town. Key West reminds me of Savannah, only more tropical. I wish we had rented bikes and rode around because it’s so cute there.
(look you can see my little baby bump!)
And here’s a picture Lydia took of the scenery…
Then we found a cute courtyard with a fountain and took a little break there. Lydia loved it.
Her favorite part was picking up the dead leaves and placing them on the fountain.
After wandering around for a half hour on the advice of a woman who told us there was a Crocs store in Key West, we bought Lydia some cute Mary Jane crocs and a Minnie Mouse jibbit (cheaper than on the boat!).
She is slightly proud of them.
After one photo op, we’re headed back to the Mickey boat!
That night, we got to meet Snow White. Lydia was a little afraid, but after tomorrow (stay tuned!) Snow White easily becomes her fave!
The show that night was Alfred & Seymour, a hip hop comedy duo. They are so hilarious. Lydia didn’t get into it but Les and I laughed the entire time.
We had dinner at Parrot Cay and ate some delicious food, of course. Honestly, I can’t remember if this was mine or Les’, but I thought it looked like a smiley face, or even a “hidden Mickey”, so I had to take a picture.
The highlight of the evening, though, was meeting our table mates, a couple and their 4 year old daughter. They live in GA and go to our church. How random is that?!
Lydia had SO much fun with their little girl. I see many a playdates in our future!
Day 4: Day at Sea and a do-si-do with Snow White!
What a fabulous idea to start a vacation blog. Our vacations have mainly been to visit my parents in Florida…. but in the last year we’ve been soooo many times. And just last week we were on a cruise too. I have worried that people get a little sick of hearing about our vacations. Great idea!!!
What a great day!! I love the picture of Lydia on her tip toes! And her walking down the hall with her banana! She’s adorable & so is your baby bump!
Your baby bump is so cute Amanda! Love seeing your vacation, it looks like it was so much fun. Lydia is adorable!
I did notice your little baby bump … I was thinking is that the bump or is she just sticking out:) It’s crazy how much faster you show the 2nd time. I was getting worried!!!
I’ve always wanted to go to Key West!
You look so cute! Can you believe I just got my “baby bump” last week?! I was very anxious to get it, but it just never came.
I think I was showing sooner with Woggie. Then again, with him, I gained 6lbs before I ever got to see the dr and I never slowed down after that!
Woggie’s sitting here with me pointing to all the pics. We’re vacationing vicariously through you guys! Since it doesn’t look like we’re going to get away ourselves this year, I think I’ll just photoshop him into some of your pics and tell him he went with you!
Yay Amanda, a baby bump – you look marvelous! It certainly looks like everyone had a great time on the Mickey Boat! Can’t wait to hear more – I’m living vicariously through you since we won’t be doing that anytime soon…. 2 boys in a tiny room on a big boat – scary : )
What fun! I love Key West! It was surprisingly cute and quaint! Love your vacation blog!
I am still jealous. And how weird (and cool) that your dinner family goes to the same church as you???
Oh, it just looks so fun! Lydia is too cute in her bathing suit!
