Sail Away… Sail Away…

Well heyyyyyy there strangers!!

Kidding. Sorta? I mean… it has been a while and all

I decided to escape all this “first winter’s snow” nonsense and head south to gorgeous Key West, Florida for some good times and pre-birthday celebrations!!

And the Truman Hotel was just the perfect lil’ boutique hotel to spend a few days of fun in the sun!

I mean how can you turn down pool-side breakfast during mid-January in your bathing suit???

Or Duval Street cocktails on a warm winter evening outside??

Especially when there’s good friends involved!!

Of course it wouldn’t be vacation without taking in the local sights???….

I mean just the cutest craziest dog I’ve ever seen!!

And enjoying some local flavors

In case you missed on Instagram, these sashimi tuna nachos with wonton crisps, seaweed salad and wasabi soy glaze from Schnooner Bar were out-of-this-world good!

And this wood-fired 4 cheese pizza from Onlywood with the most amazingggggggg ricotta was so good that this may have in fact happened…

I have no shame. So there

Key West was just so fabulous that I’m already ready to head back for some more… birthday celebrations or not!!!

I mean, wouldn’t you be?

Back for a fun blog-inspired recipe soon!

I promise… I do still actually do some cooking around here

So jealous! I’ve never been to the keys, but a sun and beach lover like myself should really make her way down there ASAP!

  Oh girl, you would LOVE it there. So many fun restaurants/bars/places to shop all within walking distance from everything. And the island is so so cute! Highly recommend visiting, ps we loved the Truman hotel
