For future reference, volunteering to rent a car and drive six other grown women around Miami is not a good idea. It's one thing if you know where you're going, but when you are relying on the others and all are shouting directions at the same time...well, let's just say it's not a good idea.
Anyway, back to the trip...We found our way to the condo we rented and immediately wanted to hit the beach. Only it wasn't what I expected. Apparently the Keys are a bunch of rock islands and so the "beach" isn't much of a beach. The water was still really pretty though. We were pretty much alone at the condo though, so we took over the pool. The"complex" was pretty small. There were four buildings, each with only two condos. The condos were three stories each with a roof-top deck to hang out on. There was one other couple there. They owned one of the condos and were able to give us some tips on what to do, where to eat, and where to play.
We went to a nearby public beach one day and hung out there - mostly in floats in the water because the sand was a little rocky, but we spent mosst of our time at the pool. Unlike our last trip, no one was horribly sunburned and miserable, so it was a success.
We ate at home most of the time - didn't want to lose precious hours by the pool - but one night we ate at Island Grill. They had two outside dining areas, each with live music. Everyone had seafood - except for me and Jana. I had the best ribs ever!
Our last day in Florida we spent back in Miami at South Beach and then in Coconut Grove. Key Largo was very laid back and not a lot of traffic, but South Beach and the Grove were the complete opposite. It was cool to check out the different shops and restaurants, but I much prefer relaxing climates.
