Islamorada 2008 (Work in Progress...)

Steve kissing everyone goodbye.

I was wondering if the sidewalk in Islamorada was fair game for snowmobiling or not... 
now I know.

The rest of our party playing at the sandbar as we are driving to the airport.

On the way to the airport we took the slightly scenic route and came across "Alabama Jacks"

The bridge into Monroe county (heading towards Key Largo).

Sara, a huge Auburn fan, lost a bet to Steve and have to use a UGA koozie and wear Ryans UGA hat for a day.

Johnny and Sara waving us good bye.

Jimmy, Kelly, Chelsea and Ian waving bye.

Steve and I went to Islamorada from July 26- August 1.  We were part of a larger group that have been going lobstering for over 40 years.  Steve and I flew to Miami and rented a car for the rest of the drive.

Lobster!


I did not really help in the lobster gathering (imagine that), but instead I snorkeled around and looked at the sea life.

Steve and his lobster.

Steve was very excited to get the award of the best rookie every from Lynn.
That was an honor. GOOD JOB, Steve!

Lots of tarpon at Robbies.

Dinner is served...

Shoes.....
I had to have new sandals at the Kino factory in Key West.

My late anniversary gift.  It is the "official" bracelet of Key West, but I just like the KW.  I really think it must have been custom made for Kelly White!

Steve fly fishing for tarpon, or what ever will bite.
