Damn good coffee here! Located in West Palm Beach

The whole place was colorful and cozy to sip coffee in. They had board games, books and newspapers to read.

We got to visit here twice seeing we had to make a loop for the safari. We sipped our delicious cold brews and played scrabble while our phones charged. Great place to relax while it rains outside.
 

Their service was great! Will definately go there again when in the area.

Just past these trees.

Great place to set up our tent for the night.

"Wonder if that boat will say anything." " Babe, their boat name is In-conch-nito, we're fine." lol

The actual African Queen boat is in a dock in Key Largo!

I saw a coconut water vendor and jumped at the chance to have some awesome refreshment! So good!

1st stop of our Key West Walk. On our way back to Mallory Square for the Sunset Celebration.

Saw this...gem and wanted to share it with all of you.

The second stop on our Key Walk Walk

Pretty great bar to go to. Was full when we walked upon it but we found some space to enjoy the live band.

My friend, Deb, told us about this bar and the Mallory Square events. I'm glad she did because it made our day there better.

An actual neighborhood lending library. Love it!

Last stop of our Walk. Danced to a lcal band. Lots of fun!

Bahia Honda State Park. Amazing Beach if you like to snorkel. Clear water. One of my favorite places on our trip.

Camping at Bahia Honda State Park. Only thing that sucked was sleeping on gravel with a nasty sunburn sucks. I applied sunscreen all day but eh.

I wished we had a couple more days there.

I had a shy crab by my chair. I wanted to snap a pic of him but he just wouldn't come out.

Sunset at Bahia Honda State Park. The stars were amazing that ngith.

THIS is what I woke up to. Baby crabs using my clothesline as a superhighway to the trees.  

Sure crabby, that's cool, just trot all over my clothes. I don't mind.

Brat...

As we packed everything up to leave, the shy crab finally came out and  said goodbye.
