Family Vacation - Day 3 (Key West)

      Before we left on our trip, Spencer and I did a lot of research trying to find the best shore excursions for us.  For our time in Key West we booked a 28 mile jet ski tour around the whole island.  The tour lasted 2 hours on the water.  Most companies we looked at charged $99 per person, however, the company we went through charged us $99 per jet ski.  I thought that was a smokin' deal!  Cameron was my partner, and the other two boys rode with Spencer.  The Caribbean Sea was so warm and the most gorgeous turquoise color.  Seriously, all the hype I had ever heard about the color was true!        
       After our jet ski tour they gave us a ride back to the Port which allowed us time for shopping.  Spencer found a shop that sold frozen Key Lime Pie dipped in chocolate, and we all got several souvenirs to take home.
      Because we had to be back on the ship by 1:30 p.m., there was still plenty of time left in the day to play.  We immediately hit the water park and swimming pools.  I remember laying on one of the lawn chairs by the railing looking out at the blue sea and thinking is this for real?  How can the water be so gorgeous?  I was just in awe!
