Fort Zachary Taylor – Key West

Posted in Fridays, Key West, Nature, Photo Friday, Summer, Travel Photo, Uncategorized, Vacation Spots by

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!

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.

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!

The Half Shell At the Pier in St. Simons GA The King and Prince Resort Atlanta Savannah HUNKSrHANDBAGS April 2013

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.
