Tranquility Bay Resort in Marathon, Florida
This weekend I decided to leave my new home here in Key West and venture to another island. Tranquility Bay in Marathon was exactly what I was looking for. They have 2 pools on the property along with a swimming beach. You have 3 room types to choose from Water view, Water Front and Beach Front. I was in a 3 bedroom Water View house, next time I will defiantly be booking a Beach Front house. To be able to step off of the porch and have my toes in the sand is exactly what everyone needs while on vacation. I think the balcony off the master bedroom was my favorite thing about the room. I could have sat there all day and just relaxed and watch the day go by. But there are way to many things to see and do so I had to get up and leave at some point. I was also really excited about the onsite water sports.

Relaxing in my PJ’s and soaking in the view from the balcony off the master bedroom.
Palm Trees make me feel relaxed!

Key West Sunset!
I don’t think I will ever get used to these amazing sunsets!
Fort Zachary Taylor – Key West
So since I have started my new life here in Key West some things are very different. Starting with your daily activities! I am so excited to get off work early and go to … THE BEACH. Yes… Rub it in I know! It is so much fun to run to my house change my clothes and in 20 minutes have my toes in the sand.
Another thing that is very different is getting used to all of the Iguanas and Chickens running around everywhere! These roosters do not know how to tell time and are making all kinds of noise at 2, 3 and 4 am!
I LOVE the water!
Always have to have my water shoes! And my Rainbow sandals!
Navy Seal Boats coming to shore.
Didn’t get burnt!
I can not say enough great things about Fort Zachary Taylor State Park. The beaches are wonderful. Don’t forget your water shoes if your feet tend to hurt from walking on shells all day. Everyone who works for the park is so nice and inviting. I think that plays a huge role in someones opinion of a location or place they are visiting.

Photo Friday
This weeks Photo Friday is inspired from my new home … Key West! This sign can be found at Ft. Zachary Taylor!
I’m HOME … In Key West!
Well its official! I can say that I am a resident of Key West now! All of my boxes are unpacked and I have an address! Somehow things always seem to work out just the way they need too. If you would have asked me last Sunday as I was packing the last of my belongings into my car, I am not sure what I would have told you. I started driving down here without a job and a place to stay.
Look out for my #KEYWESTORBUST sticker!
Almost there!

The Half Shell, At the Pier – St. Simons, GA
Sunset at the Pier
After a very LONG day of driving was happy to be enjoying the sunset at the pier in St, Simons, GA. My friend and I found a place called The Half Shell and we decided to eat there for dinner! Good choice! After eating an entire pound of fresh GA Shrimp as our appetizer. We finally ordered our main course. I think it was a Crab Cake kind of night! I had the Crab Cake BLT with Cheesy Grits. Yes I said Cheesy Grits, those were amazing!

Overall it was a wonderful dinner and I recommend the Grandma’s Tea made with Sweet Tea Vodka!

King and Prince Resort – St. Simons GA
Show me the SUN! I think I was kept in the Chicago weather for too long! A little sun can go a very long way with me! I am currently staying at The King and Prince resort in St. Simons, GA. I stayed here once before and everything about this cute little island is still the same! Beautiful Ocean views, Family Friendly, Coastal Living. Weather you are looking for a place to stay for a weekend getaway or somewhere to spend those cold winter months away from Old Man Winter this is the place. Located about an hour south of Savannah, GA and about 5 hours from Atlanta, GA. I personally drove from Atlanta and it was a nice drive not a lot of traffic on the road and it can be done in 1 day and get here early enough to have a nice relaxing dinner! Last time I was here I stayed in the historic main building, this time I am in a Villa that is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath suite with a full kitchen, living room and balcony with a great view of the ocean.

The things I look for in a hotel are the small little touches that can make your stay that much more relaxing. Everything from the small little mints they leave on your pillow to having a washer and dryer and a wine bottle opener in the kitchen. You would not believe the hotels I have stayed in over the years that don’t have those things. Sometime I even throw a wine bottle opener into my suit case since I always end up buying one if the hotel doesn’t supply it. Also each room has decorative pieces there for nothing more that pure enjoyment.
