Keys Sailing Adventure Day 5

On our last day we headed out to one of the best places to snorkel and Will and I were pretty excited about a second chance at snorkeling since we'd felt so sick the first time we'd snorkeled.  We sailed out to Looe Key and got right in with the beautiful yellow tail fish.

After snorkeling around and looking at the breathtaking views of the ocean floor and marine life we got to see one of the coolest fish yet......a Goliath Grouper.  It was gigantic as its name suggest...we were just in awe starring at this beautiful fish that came out of no where.  Josie decided to follow it under our boat (fearless as she is) and Ernie promptly let her know it probably wasn't the best idea to play with a fish the same size as yourself.  Our little budding Marine Biologist.

After our beautiful swim we headed out on the last leg of our wonderful journey into Stock Island Harbour just north of Key West.  We relaxed on the front of the boat and saw a few more animals to add to our long list for the week....a loggerhead sea turtle and a few more dolphins.  Laying on the front of the boat reminiscing about what a wonderful week it had been was nice....the reason it was so wonderful, besides the obvious beauty and adventure was the fact that we were never rushed and truly relaxed more than ever before on vacation.  Not having to be somewhere at any particular time and with not many decisions to make about what to do each day had truly made this a one-of-a-kind vacation.
